To determine public views on older workers, age discrimination, and the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (POWADA), AARP conducted a survey of older voters in eight states:
Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, North Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming. Key findings from these surveys show: * Over one-third of older voters report that they or someone they
know has recently experienced age discrimination in the workplace. * About eight in ten older voters say it is important for Congress to take action and restore workplace protections against
age discrimination. * Across party and ideological lines, older voters support the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act (POWADA). * More than eight in ten older voters want
their Member of Congress to support POWADA. The survey was conducted for AARP by Woelfel Research Inc. in March 2014 with a random sample of registered voters age 50 and over in each state.
