AARP Survey Evidences Age Bias in the Workplace<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In late 2012, the AARP surveyed 1,502 adults between the ages of 45 and 74 about age discrimination in the workplace, and found that many of the people surveyed have had personal experiences with age bias at work.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

As Ann Carrns explained in the New York Times<\/a>, almost 20% of the people surveyed believed they have been passed over for jobs because of their age.\u00a0 <\/span>Another 12% believed they were denied promotions because of their age.\u00a0 <\/span>Finally, 9% of responders believed they lost their job or were denied training as a result of their age.\u00a0 <\/span>Of those who have experienced discrimination based on their age, 58% believe such discrimination started once they reached their 50s.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps even more telling is the amount of time older workers are out of work after they lose their jobs.\u00a0 <\/span>As of April 2013, the average duration of unemployment for workers over 55 was 50.2 weeks, while the average duration for workers under 55 was 36.9 weeks.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

There are, however, many employers and industries that embrace older workers.\u00a0 <\/span>The AARP compiles a list of the most over-50-friendly companies in the U.S. each year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
