Description
Lona Choi-Allum reports survey findings from 2023 on job insecurity among older workers in the United States. Workers over forty lived through years of workplace disruption, and cut hours were the most common blow. The pandemic drove much of that change, pushing many out of jobs by layoff or firing.
The survey covered two thousand workers aged forty and older, weighted to match the nation by sex, race, age, and income. A weak economy was the top reason workers expected to lose a job within a year. Worry ran about as high under fifty as over it. One in four workers doubted they could find a new job within three months, and the share was higher among those already searching. Age bias is named in the title as a driver as well.
