The Changing Landscape of Hiring: Older Workers vs. Prime-Age Workers.

A new Transamerica Institute workplace survey found that over three in five employers gave a “great deal” or “quite a bit of consideration” to job applicants age 50 and older when recruiting in 2022. More than half of employers (53%) agree with the statement, “Many employees at my company expect to work past age 65 or do not plan to retire.” The results offer hope that workplace ageism may be waning as demographic changes force employers to consider older workers, who often prove to be the most satisfied employees.
