10 AEROSPACE Age Bands & Age Bands It is helpful to know the age bands in a sector, because if there is a substantial percentage of people above 55 years old, it means there will be opportunity as retirements happen. Based on Age Distribution, Arapahoe/Douglas Works! has developed a way to measure the age gap in an industry by comparing the number of workers over age 45 to the number under age 34.
