Last night, my local PBS station featured a Frontline segment on the unemployed in the NY area called "Close to Home." It is a very well-done show on an excellent program and I encourage you to watch it.
But what it pointed out was that older workers (i.e., those of us over 40) comprise the bulk of the unemployed in the NYC area. What's worse, companies are not re-hiring our age group.
What ever happened to "40 is the new 30" syndrome??? Could it be the the Gen-Xers are finally getting to push out the Baby Boomers? Possibly.
But I worry about a business world where youth and aggressiveness trumps experience.
