Giving Older a Chance

You can read articles, such as this one from CareerJournal, that indicate older workers are more productive than younger ones and yet still sense a real reluctance to give older applicants a chance.

Just thinking out loud: I'm wondering if age bias might be overcome where employers stress the benefits of intellectual diversity and where hiring managers began to consider not just the person, but the value of having a person with a different perspective on the team.
