This is going to cause wide spread butt hurt.
*UNEXPECTED*
It’s something I expected with all the investment that has been committed to, but it’s happening a bit faster than I anticipated. We’ll see how it goes for the next few months.
drink!!
It very much depends on the job seeker.
If you’re a straight white man over 60, they will pass you up and leave the job available for someone else, even if you have skills and energy.
No surprise, Trump has been talking about his economic growth of the economy for months.
Hate to tell you but most companies don’t anyone over 50. Most companies want younger inexperienced folk they can pull around by the nose and pay as little as possible. Age, experience and skills have little to do with getting a job in today’s America.
It also increases the amounts companies have to pay for employee health insurance.
We need to decouple health insurance from employment, it puts American workers at a disadvantage, especially older workers.
And regarding being white, you’re correct, if your over 60 and white, forget it.
Surprising?
100%. They see anyone over 50 as heavy luggage, a possible pending liability. And if you’re white, most of the time you’re wasting your time.
Trumps fault.
Over 60? They will bypass you regardless of race. Reality is older than 60 drain most of health insurance funds. No corporation wants to be loaded with over 60 workers. Because that affects cost of insurance coverage.
Which explains why the country experiences poor service in the service sector and elsewhere and why our products are crap. It's not about quality of product or experience, it's about making money.
That’s what happens when the bean counters take over.
Bean counters need to stay in their lane.
I’m sure if this was Joe’s economy and 500k jobs were created, it would have signaled an “economic boom”.
Yup. My wife is 60yo and looking for a job. White, ago 60? Slim to little
If the job market gets even better they will be forced to let the long haired freaky people apply.
