And again, just to emphasize, read the comments by people after the articles.
There’s a ton of articles on how to get a job over 50, but the real stories are written by the many people who leave their comments.
So if there is no family source of support, and that is most often the case for over 50 workers, do they just end up on unemployment for long periods of time and either use a sort of welfare or figure out how to get on disability if it continues long enough? This is for those cases where they don’t have a married partner to provide a source of support. In married cases I presume by and large it simply results in additional burdens for the other partner the majority of the time.
That’s just bloody great. I lost my job last Thursday and have 4 kids and a wife to support.
This is news that could make one consider giving up.
