年輕人不要抱怨，看看世界各地的老年人的命運:
五十歲以上的要找工作更是難上加難:
隨便抄幾段世界各地上了年紀的人談找工作之不容易:
德國:
I live in Germany. Here, it’s pretty much a requirement to have your date of birth and a headshot on your CV. I read one statistic here that said if you’re unemployed after 60, your chances of getting a new job ever again are about 12%.
澳大利亞:
I got laid off at 52 from a warehouse job as a storeman. I applied for over 100 jobs before I finally got one about6 months later, a factory process worker. It's extremely labour intensive & bloody hard work. I'm now 64 & have been there for 12 years. With arthritis in my hands, ankles & feet I'm really struggling physically with the work as I'm still expected to do the same as if I was still in my 20's. I'm really starting to hate it but I know if I left the chance of finding another job as a blue collar worker now at my age would be near impossible. Plus the Australian Government a few years ago pushed the retirement age from 65, I was so damn close, to 67 & there are rumours that they want to increase it again to 70. It used to be 55 for women & 60 for men. Both my grandfathers & my father all retired at 60. Seems the government is hoping we'll die on the job so they can save money on having to pay us the aged pension.
英國:
Nobody will employ you in the UK after 60 but you still have 7 years before you are entitled to a pathetic pension that you have paid into all your working life. Many go hungry on a regular basis many die of colds because they are afraid to put their heating on. That’s the outrageous disgusting truth of Britain, the 6th richest nation on Earth, in the 21st century..

It's not just after 60. I have a friend who is 48. She's a Duke MBA graduate, has extensive managerial experience, tons of impressive references who speak well of her, a portfolio to die for, and, prior to working for corporate America, she ran her own successful agency for over 10 years. Yet, despite all this, she hasn't been able to land a job since being laid off during covid .
She's tried everything. She's done free spec work, sent out over 3,000 resumes, tailored. Every cover letter, reached out to her entire network personally in a one-on-one basis, and even tried applying at temp agencies. No one will hire her. Finally, out of desperation, she offered to do unpaid internships with several companies, just to get experience to try to transition into a different field. Again, they won't even hire her for freaking free! Giving up on the corporate world, she decided to apply at Lowe's, home Depot, grocery stores in her area, and other retail outlets just so she could get some kind of job, and have any kind of income at all. Yet, apparently even retail is biased against people of a certain age. Oh, sure, they said she was overqualified. And, of course she was. But she told them she was burned out on corporate, and genuinely wanted of retail position to start a different kind of life. They didn't care .
Just last week, she posted on LinkedIn begging people for $300 so that she could have gas money and money for one night's hotel as she traveled from Dallas to Indiana, or a former client of hers offered to take her in and put a roof over her head. Head. This is what it's come to in this country.
