On an on-going basis, the Center gathers high quality facts and statistics related to the 21st century multi-generational workforce. The Center selects some of these for our Fact Sheets.
Here are some interesting statistics from our recent Fact Sheet on Mental Health:
 "Using the 2005 National Health Interview Survey, a 2007 AARP report found that 84.0 percent of adults ages 50 to 64, 85.0 percent of adults ages 65 to 74, and 80.9 percent of adults ages 75 and older were without possible signs of depression." |
