- 4 out of 10 U.S. workers say their organizations want to hold onto older workers because they are difficult to replace
- More than twice as many businesses encourage older workers to stay on the job than to retire early
- Only 1 in 10 organizations are promoting retirement for older workers
What's behind it all?
