find all kinds of sneaky ways to get around federal discrimination laws by putting up help wanted ads requiring applicants be "currently or recently employed" or working in "permanent employment." Of course absurd requirements like this are put in solely to screen the flood of applicants out or commit age discrimination because people over 50 are overrepresented in the long-term unemployed statistics.
Another favorite I see constantly is weight-lifting and standing/sitting requirements for the jobs. These are designed to discriminate not only against older workers but also those with disabilities.

While I do see your point, there are jobs that have legitimate lifting and/or sitting/standing requirements. You do expect that your postal carrier is able to physically carry a package to your door, right?
Far more bothersome to me are "entry level" jobs that have absurd requirements. These are often an excuse to send the job overseas.
