According to a recent Wall Street Journal-NORC survey, 75% of respondents ages 65 and above said hard work is important to them, while only 61% of 18-to-29-year-olds said the same.
According to experts cited in The Wall Street Journal, older workers tend to place a high value on job security and are not as likely to be actively seeking new opportunities. This makes them a potentially valuable addition to an organization that wants to build a stable and loyal workforce.
Many employers are already pledging to hire workers over 50, including Bank of America and H&R Block. Employer pledges to hire workers over 50 shot up 122% from 2021 to 2022.
If you are an employer, it may be time to look into hiring candidates over the age of 50. Employees ages 50+ are more likely to stay with the company they work for compared to those less than 50 years old. If you have a high turnover, employing older individuals may be a good option for you.
