An analysis of five years in the work lives of middle-aged men showed that nearly two-fifths of those in their early sixties reported health limitations. The most serious labor market problems that confront men in their middle years appear to be closely linked to the chronic health conditions and disabilities that may accompany advancing age. Health status is closely linked to premature death: middle-aged men whose health affected their work in 1966 were two to three times as likely to die between 1966 and 1971 as men whose health did not affect their work. Industrial injuries are an important source of health limitations, since they occur with alarming frequency.

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.
