“No one, but no one, is hiring anyone over 55.”
I am in my late 40s and am concerned about the age thing in my future. Thinking my next step would be to start a business but as one gets older, the fear of a financial screw up and not having the time to make up for it is scary.
And, of course, now the stock market is tumbling, which is going to probably wreck my retirement funds!
The George Washington bridge in NYC has had to put up a special fence because of the suicides. This has got to be directly related to the economy. 35% of Americans are in collection. What a legacy for that bastard in Washington.
Good luck with you, btw. You’re still young and the economy can recover with a decent, good man in the WH!
In the ongoing Baraqqi Depression, employers have all the leverage. So yes, if you’re old, it’s gonna be a problem.
In a decent economy, experienced folks would be at a premium.
I remember when guys would retire and immediately start getting calls from recruiters for similar work.
