Can Employer Demand Support Older Workers Today…And Tomorrow?

Abstract

Many older workers are inclined to work longer, but will employers hire and retain them – today and in the future? A series of CRR studies on this topic provide a case for tempered optimism. First, hard data suggest that older workers are at least as productive as younger ones, though they do cost more. Second, survey data show that employers’ views are largely in line with these hard data, and job postings confirm a willingness to hire. Finally, while the jobs that older workers do today may be less prevalent in the future, jobs that they have the skills for should be available.
