Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

I was recently terminated from a job I held for ten years for inconsistancy in performance.For the first 8 years I always received a meets or higher on my performance reviews. In 2008 I recieved a low meets and in2009 a needs improvement. I grew from a $35000 a year job to $48000 in 8 years not receiving a raise in the last 2 years.It was brought to my attention a couple of times that they could replace me with someone younger and for a lot less pay. I am 58 and good at my job.What can I do, finding a job is not going to be easy.
