Are you ‘over-qualified’ and over 40+ in the current job market today? You’re not alone!  Guest Patricia Wowk comes back to revisit the state of unemployment for older people and her own job search. Older people who are unemployed represent the largest demographic in the country and still need to work because they can’t afford to retire.  This is happening to 1,000’s of women and men 40+ of all races and ethnicities all over the country. Yes, white people, as well as those of color.

We will discuss the state of unemployment for the 'graying generation' of Baby Boomers over the age of 50.  This generation, the largest demographic in the country, is now reaching their 50's and 60's - an age where they need to work, but cannot retire.  As companies focus on recruiting Millennials, times are tough for those over 50 and particularly difficult for women over 50.
