The characteristics and consequences of a permanent involuntary separation among middle-aged workers with at least five years of attachment to their employer is the focus of this analysis. Displaced workers tended to be older, to be at work in private sector nonunionized jobs in the trades and manufacturing sectors, and were likely to be married as compared to nondisplaced men. Those who were subsequently employed were more likely than their control counterparts to be in lower status jobs, with less growth in hourly and annual earnings, and also more likely to experience declining health and a sense of alienation.
