Given that I have been writing this journal blog for several years, this year I am not surprised that many of us over 50 need to work! You are not surprised either - our troubled economy has created more layoffs and decreased our "retirement nest egg".
Recently, I read that the AARP is leading the cause to encourage employers to hire boomers. The case is simple - most of us are great workers, most of us are dedicated to doing good work and, most importantly, we need to work to recoup our losses. Are you currently looking for work?
I am most interested in hearing what you are experiencing out there - I have heard from many of you on the east and west coast, but what about you folks in the middle of the country and our Canadian bloggers? Are you finding a more openness by employers to consider you for job openings?
Be well and send me your comments. In the meantime, get ready to vote tomorrow and enjoy today!
