Don't Let Anyone Tell You Age Doesn't Matter
-
The problem with all the news stories about the stock market and the jobs numbers is that they don't mean anything if you're over 50, because nobody's hiring you. You can be totally qualified and you're overqualified, so no. Or you can be right on target but they'd rather hire someone younger and cheaper -- they'll never TELL you that, but it's the truth. So a woman like this has to go to job fairs and get turned down or shunted off to apply online. There are plenty of stories about "why Trump won" featuring older white blue-collar workers whose jobs went away, but there's an entirely different category of worker here -- white-collar, successful, then the jobs went away, and when they came back, they were handed to others.
