My Wife was Unemployed for nearly two Years.

She could not find anything in her AR Field and she ended up taking a Part Time Job at a Retail Store. 25 Hours and no Benefits, but at least it keeps her busy and brings in a few Bucks.

When she went for Interviews during that time where it seemed dozens were applying for the same Job, it dawned on her that her Age (late 50’s) was a factor in the Hiring decisions.

Completely subjective on her part, but she isn’t stupid by a long shot. She could see the game being played.

Same here. My wife has a degree in Bus management with honors. Many of them said that they should be interviewed by her. Not one of them hired her. Late 50s.

Your wife is right. Those of us 45+ having trouble.
