Then ask yourself why the NYT, Pro Publica, and the Urban Institute are trying to gin up discontent among 40 and 50 somethings.
True. Now add in all the other ObamaCare regulations — like mandates to cover pre-existing conditions, elimination of annual and lifetime coverage caps, required coverage for idiocy like sex change surgeries. etc. Now you can see how ObamaCare made things exponentially worse.
Im no fan of Obamacare and want it repealed, but if the employment sitch is still bad why isn’t the exponentially worse showing up in the BLS data?
Look carefully at this article and notice what it is saying — and what it’s NOT saying. If you are in your 50s and you’re already employed, it’s harder for your employer to fire you because of potential age discrimination lawsuits. What this article is saying is that employers are refraining from hiring older workers in the first place. It would take some time for this to show up as a long-term trend.
Did you read the actual study? If not, please do. Then tell me if you still buy what that lot is selling.
You must not know any 40 and 50 somethings out there trying to find a job. This article is nothing that they don't already know from first hand experiences.
All coverage that applies to younger employees as well. Ignore the fact if you want, experienced employees come with higher salaries. Younger employees do not. It's a dollar thing, pure and simple. Same reason for H-1Bs.
Were they both lazy and power hungry?
Anti-Age discrimination is diversity personified. Your comment seems contradictory. Should a person be hired on age? Or on merit? Some answers here have expressed a bias in favor of old age.
Out in the real world, it seems that older people have a better basic education than younger people. To then play the odds and discriminated in favor of older people is diversity, affirmative action and discrimination.
Merit requires each person be considered as an individual, and not by his age, nationality or religion.... unless those are relevant to the job, which they rarely are.
I am 60 this month, have no pension, no health care that I didn't pay every cent for, and no boomer I know is in that boat.
The last people that had that kind of stuff was the Greatest Generation. The Leave it to Beaver generation.
Those people are Boomers' grandparents, not Boomers
The Greatest Generation are really Not So Great. They started Social Security, limitless spending, huge national debt.
Boomers were little kids while this was going on.
