If this (admittedly limited) sample size suggests anything, it's that Wall Street firms are usually directionally correct, but can struggle to pinpoint exact upside.

As a 24-year-old journalist wanting to cover these older workers, I heard, "You won't understand" or "You're too young."

Labor economists, workplace consultants, and management professors said that companies have been accelerating their efforts to support older workers, but have much to do. I'm sure many people like me who are first embarking on their careers can learn from these older workers.
