Media agencies are better than their clients

Yesterday I posted details about the lack of over-50s working in the media industry (3.9% of employees are 50-plus).

Just in case some of their clients are feeling smug about this age profile, here is the number of employees, aged 55-plus, in the following companies.

Deutsche Bank – 1%
Barclays Bank – 3%
Thomas Cook – 3%
Microsoft – 1%
Volkswagen Group UK – 5%
Vodafone – 3%
Ernst & Young – 2%
Morgan Stanley – 0.4%
Mothercare – 5%
KPMG – 3%
Nationwide – 6%
The Carphone Warehouse – 1%
BBC – 5%
