一项针对164名兼职老年人（平均年龄= 67.1岁）的研究结果显示，低收入、白色和少数族裔（西班牙裔和非洲裔美国人）老年人的工作经验质量的一个重要方面。定量指数数据的分析表明，歧视并没有被视为这些人工作生活中的主要障碍。年龄歧视，以及程度较轻的种族和性别歧视，都是存在的，但只有一小部分从事非全时工作的老年工人存在这种歧视。当它进行性虐待的时候。年长的工人认为这反映在工资降低，晋升机会减少，以及附加福利的不足。鉴于研究对象提供的一系列定性回答，不排除一些年长的兼职员工由于担心失业而淡化歧视，特别是年龄歧视的可能性。
Findings from a study of 164 part-time employed older adults (mean age = 67.1 years) placed by four senior employ- ment programs in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area docu- ment an important aspect of the quality of the work experience of lower-income, white and minority (Hispanic and African American) elders. Analysis of quantitative index data suggest that discrimina- tion was not perceived to be a major impediment in the work lives of these individuals. Age discrimination, and to a lesser degree, racial and gender discrimination are experienced, but only by a small ro- portion of older workers in part-time jobs. When it does s&e. older workers verceive it to be reflected in reduced salaries, fewer promotions, arid inadequacies in fringe benefit packages. Given a series of qualitative responses offered by study subjects, the possibil- ity that i~tances of dikrimination, especially ageism, may 6e down- played by some elder part-time employees because of fear of job loss is not ruled out.
