Part of this is what Labor Lawyers have done to companies. That and the cost of health insurance for older workers. And the effect of Young People in the “Personnel” Departments.

In the past managers made hiring decisions based on who can best do the job. Now it is about minimum labor cost factoring in the elements. Hence the over 55 crowd gets nailed. Nature of the beast, I can speak from experience.

And don't give me the old dated skills argument, it is largely crap.

Many if not most of the over 55 who do find work are either contract labor or work for themselves. I had to do the latter.

I got an e-mail from a recruiter today. The subject line read, “Reguarding your resume”
