A 1993 Los Angeles Times poll asked about ways in which the samples have experienced the greatest amount of age discrimination. The answer categories given were, at work, stores/public places, trying to get/keep a job, doctors, people you meet, government, media and other. Similarly, ICM/Age Concern (2001) poll asked if those being polled new anyone, such as a friend or relative, who has been discriminated against because of their age in various areas, one of them being age.
Seven down the road, AARP (2008) asked more relevant question on age discrimination at employment/workplace. The poll asked about how those being polled viewed age discrimination at employment as a major concern. AARP conducted similar polls with similar questions on 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
