So if there is no family source of support, and that is most often the case for over 50 workers, do they just end up on unemployment for long periods of time and either use a sort of welfare or figure out how to get on disability if it continues long enough? This is for those cases where they don’t have a married partner to provide a source of support. In married cases I presume by and large it simply results in additional burdens for the other partner the majority of the time.
They end up on unemployment till it runs out. Then if Walmart will hire them or maybe Lowes, they MIGHT find a job.
Lately though, Walmart has downsized their Sam’s Club staff.
The pay is not great, but at least Walmart is one of the very few places that does not discriminate against older workers.
