Sad, but if you are over 60 and have lost your job within the last year, you will most likely never again find the level of pay you once enjoyed. Part-time and entry-level jobs will be about it.

(34,661 posts)Our son being over fifty is not hire-able in his own industry. Sad to say,never thought I would see the day when Retail Grocer's would even go there. I guess if you are a mid level Manager and over 50,your Skill Set is just a POS,they will hire someone off the Street with zero Skill Set just so they find a person with a pulse under the age of 28.
Have a acquaintance with a Auto Immune System Issue,she just had to take a Leave of Absence because of the Stress related to Covid and being a Retail Grocery Person. And this job is essential do to her hubbies Cancer Treatment and Therapy costs. Both being 65+and totally dependent on Social Security,this is a harsh reality. Medicare only covers just so much. And here Gap Insurance eats up most of her Paycheck .
