In a 2007 national survey, 400 employers were asked about the likelihood of retaining older workers*. On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being "highly unlikely" and 10 "highly likely," the median response was a 6." (p. 2)
*Retaining older workers is defined as creating job opportunities for at least half of workers who wish to work two to four years longer than the firm's traditional retirement age.

This brief reports additional results from the second survey on whether employers will create opportunities for employees to work longer.
