On August 15, 2022, the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals (whose rulings apply to New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania employers) upheld the District of New Jersey’s dismissal of an employee’s age discrimination claims, finding she was unable to show her employer’s nondiscriminatory reasons for not hiring her were “so plainly wrong that it cannot have been [its] real reason.” Because she was unable to provide compelling evidence to support her claim, the Third Circuit wouldn’t overturn the district court’s decision.
