I needed extra income to support my retirement income so I hired in full time at age 66 with no difficulty concerning my age. I found so many employees there in my age group that I was amazed. I much later retired full time from there and gave notice but they were very gracious and human resources said I was welcome back any time if I ever wanted to return. Their benefits and pay were excellent and management really works well with its employees there.

Testimonials:
After reading the comments by those who express their perspective of age related discriminating practices by more than a few employers, I felt very concerned for older workers that need/desire employment. I wonder if these employers understand that it is not just the revenue from young adults that keep them in business. I wonder how they would survive if the older generation would stop supporting their businesses. I also wonder if these employers understand the principle of sowing and reaping? I am grateful to your agency for providing the results of your survey and your commitment to provide older workers with reliable job leads.
