Retirees Consider Returning to Work

The employers have decided that there is something wrong with older workers. The older workers brain doesn't function well enough to do more than sweeping the floor, cleaning toilets, and other tasks. In fact, the older worker has to be retrained to accept a minimum pay job, like acting as a greeter at some store to say "Have a Good Day, Welcome to ---Mart". Actually, there are so many illegial aliens in this country who are willing to work for less than the minimum wage, that who needs an older worker. Screw the older worker, hire an illegial alien and save money. The older workers were good at their jobs before they became older workers; and they are still good at whatever they were doing, but they were making more money than a new younger worker, so the companies say that the older worker wouldn't be happy making what a new worker makes. So lets retrain the older worker in some other field so he is on an equal footing with the young worker. That way the companies don't have to pay more money to the older worker. The Labor Department knows this and pays to have the dumb older worker retrained in a minimum wage job. Looks good in the News Media and probably does help a few older workers, but the majority don't need this excrement from our government.
