Information from the 2007 National Study of Business Strategy and Workforce Development indicates that 56% of workers aged 50 and older report a high level of job satisfaction, compared to 35% with moderate and 9% with low satisfaction. In comparison, 45% of employees in their middle years (aged 31-49) report high satisfaction, while 45% in that age group report moderate and 11% low. More younger workers have low (13%) and moderate (52%) satisfaction, with 35% reporting high satisfaction. (fig. 9, p. 8)

This Issue Brief uses a lens of “human capital costs and benefits” to examine the work experiences of young employees (aged 18-30 years), employees at mid-life (31-49 years), and older employees (50 years and older). Many of the findings discussed in this Issue Brief are the result of new analyses completed using information gathered from the wage and salaried workers (N = 2,785) who responded to the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce (NSCW). 25% of the respondents who provided their ages were between the ages of 18-30, 48% were between the ages of 31-49, and 27% were 50 years or older. The National Study of the Changing Workforce (NSCW) is conducted every five years. It surveys large samples of the U.S. workforce to collect information about both the work and personal lives of U.S. workers. (p. 1)
