“...This will lead to employers continuing to bias toward hiring older women versus younger ones ...”
Reminds me of the Benny Hill song ...
“Oh, give me an older woman every time, every time,
Give me an older woman every time.
They don’t yell, and they don’t tell, and oh, they’re grateful as hell,
So give me an older woman every time....”
Sorry, just popped into my head.
You bet they are (grateful!)! ;)
Btw, may your son rest in peace. The wars have taken quite a toll on families such as yours.
Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay or more on the same concept.
