In these scary economic times, older workers are putting off their retirement and hanging on to a paycheck. Some retirees struggling to make ends meet are scanning help-wanted ads for the first time in years. The AP's Faryl Ury reports. (March 31)
@kiribula Thanks kiribula. My attitude and feelings about myself have changed a lot since I left that comment. Can't believe how negative I sounded then. Believe me, I realize I'm not a bum and am capable of doing anything even without a deep education. Thanks for your comment!
As a 50 year old guy with no degree, trade, training or experience beyond laboring, I'm scared out of my mind because I'm of little use to employers these days. Lowest point of my life recently was when I asked my brother if I was a role model for his kids and his long, slow answer was no. Ain't nothing like being a 50 year old bum.

Seniors ROCK!!! Hiring senior citizens is the best move ever. Senior citizens have much more work advantages over younger workers.
