I agree, the problem is that as we continue to have fewer and fewer qualified employees, we have fewer and fewer companies in our country and thus fewer and fewer opportunities to get ahead.

We all need a growing and expanding economy and skills set in order to prosper. As companies leave and DO NOT START. Our entire country slowly and inexorably slips further and further towards third World status.

There’s lots of skills with the over 50 crowd who have been laid off and still have a lot of good productive years left.
