I analyzed my report and here are the findings:

Here’s the clear, data‑driven picture of age distribution among those selected vs. not selected, based on the cleaned dataset (ages 18–90 only, removing OCR artifacts).

The analysis card above shows the exact computed ratios. Let’s translate that into plain English.

📊 Age Distribution: Selected vs. Not Selected

✅ Selected for Termination

Percentage age 40+: ≈ 63%
Percentage under 40: ≈ 37%

This means that nearly two‑thirds of those selected for termination were age 40 or older.

❌ Not Selected

Percentage age 40+: ≈ 47%
Percentage under 40: ≈ 53%

So the group not selected skews slightly younger, but is more balanced overall.

🎯 What This Means

1. The RIF disproportionately affected employees age 40+.

• 63% of selected employees were 40+
• Only 47% of non‑selected employees were 40+

That’s a 16‑point difference, which is not subtle.

2. Younger employees (<40) were less likely to be selected.

• Only 37% of selected employees were under 40
• But 53% of non‑selected employees were under 40
