Next week is for older workers
By 2008, one in six workers, nationwide, will be older than 55, reports the N.C. Employment Security Commission.
By 2030, more Americans will be older than 85 than will be younger than 18. And most of these older Americans will still be working, the commission says.
That's why the commission plans to recognize these older workers next week during "National Employ the Older Worker Week." The commission has specialists who handle job placement and referral for older works in most of its 93 offices throughout the state. These specialists also act as resources for resume and interview preparation and help older workers find training opportunities.
The commission reports that it has placed more than 5,000 older workers in new jobs during the past year.
