Concluding Remarks• Overall, Baltimore’s mature workers confront
the same set of challenges faced by all city residents (low income levels, limited educational attainment, lack of employment).
• In general, however, the mature workers who utilize MOED’s services exhibit greater stability in each of these areas.
25
Concluding Remarks• This statistical assessment provides us with a
firm foundation for future research into employment issues facing mature workers.
• Going forward, the Mature Worker Task Force plans on conducting surveys with businesses (including BWIB member firms), and select groups of mature workers.
• These surveys will investigate the needs of these respective populations, vis-à-vis mature work employment development.
