I lost my job of 20 plus years because of COVID -19. I have applied everywhere and no job offers have contacted me. I’m feeling stressed And I wonder is it because I’m 54 years old.

I am in the same position. I have been self-employed for the past 30 years and due to covid I am out of work. I am a very physically fit 61-year-old female. I cannot count how many jobs I have applied for and not had a response. I'm sure in terms of reliability dependability and effort I could run circles around some of the young hires.

Listen everyone it appears most companies are not hiring as much as you would like. A temp service would suffice until you land back on your feet. And possibly the company they send you too just might hire once you've proved yourself! Keep plugging!

I'm in the same boat. My unemployment runs out in 6 weeks. I'm 57 and no one is interested. Young people are less expensive. Good luck to you.

Thank you very much for this posting. I was beginning to feel the same way and I am also 54. I have tenure at the companies I have worked at.
