Staying Ahead of the Curve Keynote speaker Deborah Russell, AARP Director of Economic Security, provided a national overview on the aging of the workforce and its significance to employers. She noted that in 2000, 13% of US workers older ladies were 55 or older. By 2015, 20% of the workforce is projected to fall in that age group. Despite the changing demographics, 80% of employers do not offer any provisions to appeal older ladies to the concerns of mature workers. According to Russell, older ladies this is a big mistake. Not only are older workers the fastest growing sector of the economy, but they "offer businesses a unique combination of experience, loyalty, enthusiasm and a strong work ethic." Russell shared a range of strategies businesses can employ to Stay Ahead of the Curve. For a copy of Deborah Russell's presentation, email Grier Mendel. Setting the Local Context Robert A. Peck, president of the Greater Washington Board of Trade, set the local business context. According to Peck, the Metro area has led the nation in job growth 4 years running and is close to an official labor shortage already.
