65+ Workers Hit 20% Labor Force Participation as Hiring Surges 60% (Split Screen Economy Revealed)
from Empower Over 50 · host Empower Over 50
While headlines scream about layoffs and the "slow bleed" economy, something surprising is happening: hiring for workers 65+ has jumped 60% to 8% of total hires. We decode this paradox by connecting three critical sources - ABC News on corporate optimization, a game-changing New York legal memo on disparate impact protection, and shocking labor data showing the "reliability premium" in action. Discover why the same market forces creating anxiety are actually creating protected lanes for experienced workers, how New York's new age discrimination law is reshaping hiring nationwide, and why companies obsessed with efficiency are now seeking the low-risk option in a high-risk world. From algorithmic bias to cultural fit challenges, learn how to position yourself as the solution, not the problem.Watch the full video on YouTube: youtube.com/@empowerover50Send us Fan MailSign up HERE for a weekly emailJoin the Community Message Board: Join our communityVisit our YouTube channel for all our videos: @EmpowerOver50Visit the Website: Empower Over 50My Book "Coming Home After 50: A Journey of Rediscovery is available from Amazon:https://a.co/d/injkC3b🌿 FREE Resource Guide Download HERE.https://www.instagram.com/the_english_musical_nomad/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564529386194https://x.com/T_E_M_Nomademail: [email protected]
