Good. It's about time they started paying for their Social Security.

Who would want to retire and winter in Florida that wants to keep on living?

I have two things to say about this.:
1. It's nice that the Seniors are starting be looked at as valuable. Bout' Time.
2. Screw AARP
I love retirement, but I have neighbors and friends who can't stand "hanging around" the house all day. For them, jobs like these are perfect.
After years of encouraging workers to take early retirement as a way to cut jobs, a growing number of companies are hunting for older workers because they have lower turnover rates and, in many cases, better work performance.
The bean counters never took into account what is called "corporate memory". That is, there is a lot about any job that is not written down. Over the years, people learned what worked and what didn't.
When companies cut people, they are not just losing an individual, they are losing all the knowledge and skills that person has.
For too long now, management has not thought much of those skills and that knowledge, but every so often a company will cut too deeply and the business will suffer, sometimes it is fatal.
Too much "fat" in a business can be harmful to it's health, but the opposite can also be true.
For a long time now many businesses have been like a teenage girl with a eating disorder, they have eliminated all the fat years ago, but they still keep trying to lose weight (by not hiring enought workers to do the jobs that need to be done correctly). This places a lot more stress on the remaining workers, until eventually they leave for greener pastures taking with them their "corporate memory".
No wonder all Borders employees are crotchety old liberals then.
You should have heard the hisses when I picked up Ann Coulter's latest book there a few months ago.
The wave of the future.
The demographics require this. Otherwise, there will be a shortage of workers meaning we'll need to have immigrants in to do many jobs.
I would quietly point out that if 40 million American taxpayers (workers) hadn't been aborted by the liberals since 1970, we'd have more jobs to PAY for the democratic AARP spending habits and Social Security..
