Some of us Baby Boomers are lucky to hold onto a full-time job stable enough to see us through to retirement.
But for many, the instability of today’s job market can leave us jobless and struggling to even get a job interview, let alone hold down a job that’ll help pay the bills.
For those Baby Boomers stuck in the decade before they can get the age pension, it can be like being stuck between rock and a hard place.
All too often we hear from the Starts at 60 community about the challenges of getting a job as a Baby Boomer.
If you’re one of those people struggling, then you’re not alone.
A survey commissioned by the Australian Human Rights Commission last year found 33% of Australians over 50 who had experienced age discrimination gave up looking for work.
