Could be employers don’t want to hire as much from the “participation award” snowflake generation.
An experienced older person just wants to get the job done.
The snowflakes want to argue.
Who do you think will get hired?
I’ve seen snowflakes on the job and us old guys are far less maintenance.
Too much arrogance, demands, and lack of people skills, manners, experience, and knowledge at their jobs

Recently, there was a fatal accident in front of a house I own. A massive truck blew a tire, left its lane and hit a small truck head on. The driver of the truck was 78. (I don’t think his age played a factor in the accident.)
I was discussing this with the former vice president of a steel company. On the driver’s age he said, “it’s almost impossible to hire a young person as a driver. They can’t get a CDL because they can’t pass the drug test. If you do manage to hire a young person they generally aren’t reliable. Then there’s risk. Hiring somebody who is young (for various drug related reasons) is much higher. Look at the semi’s and see who is driving them. It’s white hair or no hair.”
I regularly see contractor’s trucks loaded with youngsters on their way to jobs. Generally, the driver is very much senior. (Another issue to hiring people is an unbelievable number don’t have regular driver’s licenses because of DUI’s or they got taken because of debts owed to the state for fines. I employ a couple of those and must pick them up and drop them off.)

That is this employer’s point of view exactly. My youngest employee is 57, and my guys kick butt!
