Right now, four million older Americans are either unemployed or not able to find full time employment. Many are struggling to meet their everyday needs and having to choose between buying groceries or the medicine they need. A choice no one should have to make. We can and must make a difference now before it is too late.
Please join the AARP Foundation from 8:30 a.m.-12 noon EST on Thursday, February 2nd, for a webcast and conversation that explores how older workers can be better positioned for hourly wage jobs in high growth industries.
Speakers will present the latest research and discuss practical strategies that can improve the way we help older adults position themselves in the competitive job market. Questions and discussions are encouraged.
