From the Paper:

"For many years, potential employees were politely interviewed then never called back to accept the position. There was a general mindset that they could not work as hard, or as fast or as well as their younger peers could work. The advances in medical science have begun to change the way the older population is viewed. People are living longer than ever before and with that longevity come the desire to stay busy and contribute to society well into the "golden years"."
"One of the problems that the older generation is encountering however is the attitude toward their contribution to the work force. When a person reaches a certain age they suddenly find themselves "unemployable" even when they are highly skilled and experienced in the field."
