why?  Are you indicating your age in your resume and on applications?
And if not, remember not to put any work experience beyond about 10 years 
back.
Unless you aquired education within the last 20 years, you don't need to put 
the date of graduation from your education either.  Any indicators of age 
are not relevant to your ability to perform the job so they don't factor in 
to any employers criteria.  And if they do, the employer is opening 
themselves up to big trouble.
In Canada employers are finding themselves in a position where they are 
bringing back, or hiring older people because they have experience and 
knowledge.  The retirement age is continually creeping up.
There are allot of variables with this, but basically there is a really huge 
pool of qualified workers out there, many still able to work, that companies 
are now realizing they can tap into.
It's an interesting trend actually and a great thing in my mind.  many 
people don't want to retire at 60 or 65 but are forced into it by their 
organization.
Quite often a company will bring someone back on a yearly contract basis and 
it's a win win for both employee and employer.
All that said, it doesn't make it easier to get a job when you are in an 
economy where the labour market isn't tight and young people are fighting 
for those same jobs.
