Itâs time we pay attention to these ignored older workers Published: Dec. 31, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. ET By Carsey-Werner Co/Courtesy Everett Collection Email icon
I have a confession to make.
Iâm guilty of focusing much of my reporting and writing on older workers who have the education, financial security, and, often the tech ability, to pursue encore careers and explore their passions.
I relish the human stories of second acts and talking to people who
love their jobs. I confess that I simply havenât spent adequate time telling
the stores of low-wage workers over 50 and their challenges.
