74、The following is a recommendation from the director of personnel to the president of Professional Printing Company.
"In a recent telephone survey of
automobile1 factory workers, older employees were less likely to report that having a
supervisor2 present increases their productivity. Among workers
aged3 18 to 29, 27 percent said that they are more productive in the presence of their
immediate4 supervisor, compared to 12 percent for those aged 30 or over, and only 8 percent for those aged 50 or over. Clearly, if our printing company hires mainly older employees, we will increase productivity and save money because of the reduced need for
supervisors5."
