This link is the best that I could find, <a href="ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/lf/aat3.txt">ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/lf/aat3.txt</a>, and for 2007. Monthly statistics do a little by age, 16, 20 and over 25 but nothing so specific as 50+ that I am aware of.

As a contract recruiter I've seen a lot of this over the past 4-5 years and been impacted by it personally. Certain industries are worse than others...<br />
<br />
When companies use buzzwords like "energetic" or "fit the culture" these can be warning signs...<br />

I completed an assignment less than a year ago where the CEO was in his early forties and wanted all his direct hires to be between 25-35.<br />
<br />
This company is a subsidiary of a larger corporation...the subsidiary practiced age discrimination...yet the parent company did not...I saw this "up close and personal" with candidates I sent them whom the subsidiary wouldn't hire yet the parent would...<br />
<br />
This news is not the least bit shocking because I've lived it...<br />
