Since you posted this article, what’s your reply to my question: what companies are hiring people in their 70s?
Yes, this is a VERY SERIOUS QUESTION. I'm 63 and on the job market, IT professional, very good resume, but am being passed over very likely because of my age (and that I'm not an Indian). And it will only get worse. What, am I supposed to go from good income IT professional to compete for Walmart greeter?

The hardware stores are full of 70+ people. They’re the best employees there. Many departments store also hire older people.
There’s also this crazy thing you can do called working for yourself. I started doing that at 26. Retired at 60. Yet I still sort of work in my 70’s at real estate investing because it’s so much darn fun.
Yup! Those were my first thoughts too.
Going to have to tackle that ‘age discrimination’ issue first.
