Since 2006, perceptions of professionals steady, of support workers substantially improved
It is always difficult to know how to think about survey results regarding employer attitudes toward older workers. Employers may give socially acceptable responses to survey questions, but may behave quite differently.
The new survey was conducted by telephone in the fall of 2019 by Matthew Greenwald and Associates. Private sector employers were asked to evaluate the relative productivity and costs of older workers and whether, on balance, older employees or job candidates were more or less attractive than their younger counterparts. The survey consisted of 25 questions, 15 on the characteristics of the employer and 10 on their views of younger workers versus older workers .
Since the 2019 survey replicated — using the same survey firm and the same questions — one we did in 2006, we were able to compare results over time. Results from regression analysis showed that the main differences across the two waves of the survey are primarily with respect to employers’ views of older support workers . Assessments of this group’s productivity rose substantially and more than offset their perceived cost, resulting in a large improvement in their overall attractiveness.
