Most older people I see working are in retail or McDonalds or the like. And it's supplementary income.
I recently retired from a very “major” corporation. The company is THE leader in its field.
For the last 4-5 years, finding qualified candidates for premier sales positions has been like pulling teeth. Plenty of resumes...but few people can speak intelligently, write a coherent sentence...and embrace the fact that they will have to prove themselves via results before ascending to the “corner” office.
The pool of educated, driven candidates is essentially bare.
On the other hand, I’m certain Common Core will take care of all the above issues.
But, but, but.. the ‘progressives’ keep telling me that the reason the labor force is decreasing is because of all the retirees.
Hmmmm....
