According to a 2006 analysis of the Displaced Workers Survey, when the researchers controlled for tenure, "older workers are actually more likely than their younger counterparts to be displaced." (p. 10) In 2004, the probability of displacement was 5.3% for workers ages 25-29, 6.7% for ages 30-34, 6.8% for ages 35-39, 7.5% for ages 40-44, 8.1% for ages 45-49, 8.7% for ages 50-54, 10.3% for ages 55-59, and 11.6% for ages 60-64. (Table 6, p. 25)

This paper "explores the relationship between job loss and age over the period 1984-2004 using the biennial Displaced Worker Supplement to the Current Population Survey...The survey attempts to measure the incidence of job loss due to a shift in labor demand by asking workers whether they have been displaced for one of the following reasons: 1. their plant or company closed down or moved; 2. their company had insufficient work; 3. their position or shift was abolished; 4. a seasonal job was completed; 5. a self-operated business failed; 6. other reason."
