Memo to Washington: Ignore older workers at your peril. People like Nancy Pelosi (82), Chuck Schumer (71), Mitch McConnell (80) and Joe Biden (79) aren’t finding it hard to get lucrative, easy work even at their advanced ages. Why can’t everybody else?
How are older Americans supposed to keep working until they’re 70 if nobody is going to employ them over 50? Does anyone in Congress have any thoughts about this? Or, for that matter, does anyone else?
Naturally there was some guesswork about the ages, but in the study they ran calculations based on high school graduation dates and other indicators. It also shows that there are so many ways around the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that the 1967 law offers scant protection to older workers—or would do, even if the Supreme Court hadn’t already gutted it in 2009.
