Interesting reading found by googling “over 50” job forums. Vast numbers are still out of work after several years of sending out resumes. Age discrimination is alive and well (excluding Walmart!).

The job forums is where you can find the truth of it all.

It's not discrimination at all. It's a practical approach to running a business.

The ObamaCare employer mandate that requires employers to provide medical insurance for their employees makes older workers completely radioactive. Employers have a financial interest in staying away from employees in an age cohort that has the highest medical expenses and isn't yet eligible for Medicare.
