Description
INTRODUCTION The labor force within the United States has been experiencing a trend whereby the average age is drastically increasing. As it currently stands, over 48% of the U.S. workforce is comprised of employees that are at least 40 years of age (The Aging Workforce, 2008). This number is expected to increase to 51% within the next few years (The Aging Workforce, 2008). While an experienced employee brings a wealth of knowledge and valuable experience, there is often a positive correlation with higher wages. Though many businesses capitalize upon the seasoned employee's experience, others find the higher costs overly inhibitive on already financially stressed corporations struggling to meet investor demands. In order to increase net income, a business can either increase revenue and/or decrease costs. As a result, employers, in an effort to minimize costs, have an incentive to reorganize the organizational structure of the business. A common strategy is to eliminate costly positions and to reassign the responsibilities to other positions. As a result, employers may be tempted to target higher wage earners in order to reduce costs.
