Age discrimination laws didn't help older workers in fed study
- April 7, 2014
- Research by David Neumark, economics Chancellor's Professor and Center for Economics & Public Policy director, and Patrick Button, economics graduate student, is featured in Bloomberg Businessweek April 7, 2014
From Bloomberg Businessweek:
“These results provide very little evidence that stronger state age discrimination
protections helped older workers weather the Great Recession,” David Neumark and Patrick
Button wrote in a research note published today by the San Francisco Fed. “In fact,
the opposite may have occurred, with older workers bearing more of the brunt of the
Great Recession in states with stronger age discrimination protections.” … Neumark
is a visiting scholar at the San Francisco Fed and professor of economics at the University
of California, Irvine, where Button is a Ph.D. candidate.
