Abstract This brief analyzes changes in the displacement of older and prime-age workers since the mid-1990s and the effect of three factors – tenure, educational attainment, and employment in manufacturing – identified as having a significant effect on displacement risk. The results show that all three factors contributed to the rising dislocation risk older workers face and their rising risk vis-à-vis prime-age workers.
