I retired 15 years ago, then found I was in demand part time from many sources. I have a valid CDL permit and employes are begging for drivers. They love people who are mature and dont destroy their equipment. Older workers show up on time and dont mind working, and dont hand them any crap. So far my biggest problem has been that after a while they keep wanting you to work more and more hours until part-time work becomes almost full time.
The biggest complaint I hear from employers is that todays kids dont seem to have a good work ethic. I have cut back now to working very little, only a couple of days a week,but even at that there are jobs available.
I bet the author knew all that, but his bosses need to divide, for political purposes, older American into a group being victimized with "Bridge jobs."
CDL?
BINGO!
