    Compelling story about baby boomers who are trying to help themselves within Neighbors-helping-Neighbors U.S.A., a volunteer networking organization with 28 chapters in New Jersey serving 1,200 unemployed, mainly white-collar, baby boomers. These baby boomers are not able to find new employment that comes close to their previous work. "What he does recommend is lowering expectations. "You're not likely to be the department head," he said, "so sell yourself as a team player who will work with younger people and help train them." "

    Doris this is a great story and it definitely validates that what we are doing can be a resource for those in need of a job. I do want to include a solild program on job searching and networking/ resume/interviewing etc. I also believe this is a bigger issue for our society- so glad to read about what congress is working on. Thank you for sharing this.

    AARP's report on why hiring workers over age 50 is the right thing to do for business.

    Long document, but definitely worth reading. This is an excellent business case for hiring workers 50+. I wonder how it will be used and/or disseminated. Unfortunately there is still age bias in hiring as I recently read on a LinkedIn article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-26/here-s-proof-that-age-discrimination-is-widespread-in-the-job-market If only we could get these two mindsets connected!
