[quote=bearishgurl]Incredible moving graph, jstoez! It’s also very telling as to age group. The unemployment rate for the 55 – 64 age group dramatically rises in 2005 and after in the several counties of the three states I “spot-checked” (incl CA). This group is the most experienced worker of all groups with a tremendous work ethic … yet employers don’t seem to want them (in favor of texting and tweeting Gen Y’s) :-0[/quote]A lot of companies think that this age group is ‘out of date’.. and thinks the tweeting, texting, facebooking Gen Y(s) are up to date with modern technology. The problem is that many of these Gen Y(s) only know how to use the technology, not how it is actually implemented nor how it is built.
