Being Over 50 Years Old is Tough

From Carol

How I was discriminated against

Being over 50 years old is tough. Working for 30+ years means nothing unless you have a piece of paper.

What it's like being an older or younger job seeker

I see jobs for receptionist they must have a college degree. For a Receptionist? A person with 30+ years can't answer a phone? Come on!

Lessons Learned

  • The Senators after taking 6+ weeks not passing unemployment. They should do without a paycheck for twice that time and see how it feels. For every week we don't get unemployment it is 2 weeks that each Senator does without their check. After 2 weeks this does not work. Then lets go higher on the food chain.
  • Lets see how long it takes to unemployment passed!
