If you read the comments, you'll see some impressions of others too.

It's very interesting reading this. I so relate to this...because I'm part of this trend..hired once more (whew!) at this point in my career.

Orchid,

Thanks for sharing your article.

I was fascinated to learn that in Canada, "employment levels have surged among older women." I wonder if this is true in the US as well? If so, I'm delighted for all of us!

Anne

I haven't looked at all these charts, but it looks like the unemployment rate for older women is going down. However, the unemployment rates can be deceiving as they often don't count those who have given up looking, are no longer eligible for unemployment benefits, are working at part-time jobs, or are under-employed.

I suspect quite a number of older women are into part-time work, either forced (because of lay-offs) or by choice. (post early retirement from full-time job)

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. What happened? I thought you had a nice job?
