REEMPLOYMENT EASIER FOR YOUNGER WORKERS
According to a 2011 analysis from the Urban Institute, "within six months of job loss, 76% of displaced workers age 18 to 24, 70% of those age 25 to 34, and 69% of those age 35 to 49 become reemployed. By contrast, only 58% of displaced workers age 50 to 61 and 48% of those age 62 or older find new jobs over the same period." (p. 18)
