Unemployment is also running high in this age group. A lot of companies have cut back on entry level jobs, and ones that exist are being scooped up by older workers who have been layed off.

Actually it's just the opposite. Companies will not higher more experienced workers for entry level jobs as businesses consider these people over qualified and are convinced they will seek employment elsewhere not long after they are hired. The end result is the experienced workers cannot find a job while those with little experience fill the entry level positions.

Another thing that contributes to this problem is that some companies simply assume that older workers are going to demand a higher salary than younger workers, and the result is that they never reach the point of salary negotiations.
