The forgotten older people
The older I looked, the less jobs for my age group.
Then when I found my self unemployed at 55.
It all went nuts.
Gone was my confidence.
Gone were the jobs I can do, Young people the under 45 have them all.
But one day they will be here where I am.
It doesn't seam to matter that I have over 30 years experience.
that I am reliable, and always on time.
I am judged on my hair color. my age.
And the fact that I can not wear makeup.
As the population grows older. some of us like me.
Have to work, have to make money to survive.
I work pay check to pay check.
There are many like me out there, the ones that could never put money aside
they like me struggle to make ends meet.
There was no extra money to put aside, for the rainy day.
Every day was a rainy day.
Well I have one part time job and need a second.
But will the employers work around the first job.
The ones I have applied for want open availability.
I never thought
I would have to work 2 jobs to keep my head above water at my age
But there you go
I am grateful I have a job.and thank god unemployment for now.
But I cant but wonder why there is no help out there for the ageing population.
We have so much knowledge to share
