According to analysis of the National Study of Business Strategy and Workforce Development, employers were more likely to report the perception that late-career employees were reluctant to try new technology (44.0%), were more likely to be burned out (37.7%), and were more likely to be reluctant to travel (28.1%), compared to their perceptions about early- or mid-career employees.

The National Study of Business Strategy and Workforce Development is a 2007 study carried out by The Center on Aging & Work/Workplace Flexibility at Boston College. Human resource professionals at 578 non-governmental organizations with 50 or more employees completed a survey about their organization's response to the aging workforce. At these organizations, approximately three-fourths of the employees were full-time, almost half were women and one-third were members of a racial/ethnic minority group.
