Trying to get a job when you are in your sixties sucks.

I would imagine it would. Are you close to retirement? Many people are working past 65 which is a big problem for younger folks. If every person would retire 65 and older, we would not have any unemployment problems. Time to pack it in folks and enjoy what is left of your lives. Times goes VERY fast and working until your 75 or 80 will not leave enough time to enjoy a decent retirement. With your Air Guard retirement, Social Security and 401K, you should be perfectly ready financially for retirement. Good luck with the job search IF you have to find another job.

Sounds like the CEO took a very strong and personal shot at Obama. I seriously doubt that Obama can get 20% of the vote from the employees of LMT.

I think you set a record.

When all else fails, stop hitting the post button.

I imagine what one considers a decent retirement varies a lot.

I know. I know this. I was not thinking. when the comment is long to post you have to leave it alone no matter how long it takes to post. Better to go do something else.

Here in Arizona 10 years ago the average age of employees at Home Depot was late twenties. Now it is late fifties.

What do you mean “may have”? I am no economic genius but I can add two and two and two and two and come up with eight and it is plain to see that Obama has eight up our economic lunch already. It is true that we had problems when he went in but he has gotten real results since then...ALL BAD!

Apparently Obama promised to pay all the costs associated with the layoffs if Lockheed delayed its announcements. Somehow i think Lockheed will get screwed.

I guess, in the same way as you might either pull out your hair, or cut 1/10th of it off. If you think that is the same thing, then yes.
