Having been a factory foreman, I personally would prefer older workers for light factory work. They don’t expect $20 an hour for a $7 an hour job. The come to work on time every day. They don’t even consider the possibility that talking on the phone while working is OK.
The factory I used to work for recruited some very elderly people from a retirement village for light assembly work a couple days per week and they were great. We just gave them chairs and parked them around a table to work and they did great. We had a guy who was 87 years old. He said it beat sitting in his apartment watching everybody else getting old.
Retire at 80... and drop dead the same day...
Too funny...
They want people to work till they drop dead...
No joke.
