Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Job-changers over age 50 increasingly end up in "old-person" jobs, with a high share of older hires relative to prime-age hires. (2) These basic findings hold by gender and by education. (3) However, the overall outlook has improved since the late 1990s for all groups, particularly for older women with more education. (4) Also, older job-changers hired into "old-person" jobs are paid no less than other jobs.
