subject: What Kind Of Retirees Work Is Available? [print this page] Author: Raymond Angus Author: Raymond Angus
Do you want to know why retirees work has become a major area of the overall market place? Read on and see how you can take advantage of this ongoing situation.For too many years, senior citizens have been shunted off to one side of society.Many younger people voiced aloud the belief that the older generation served little purpose other than perform peripheral tasks in life.Retirees work was defined as watching the grandkids when needed, or tending a garden out back of the garage.Younger people often are very condescending to seniors. They assure them that they are needed, but that is all the farther it goes. Then they would go off to live their own lives.A struggling, worldwide economy has shouted help loud and clear that grandma and grandpa have a lot more to offer society than make do work.The economy today has forced business people to be very choosy about their employees. This is why they are beginning to appreciate the experience and ethics of senior citizens. The verdict has been forced by circumstances.Businesses need to make their employees time individually more productive. Translated, that means more valuable to the business.Retirees have learned after years of working in the real world just how to be productive in any line of work.They have spent their working lives honing skills and talents they possessed and developed.They are a known commodity, and business people are coming to that conclusion.Now that the truth is out and employers realize that retirees work would be a big asset to their business, how do the twain meet?Federal and state employee laws are broad and specific at the same time, and sometimes inhibit businesses from really advertising for senior citizen employees.The brunt of filling positions of retirees work then, falls upon the shoulders of the retirees themselves.Are you a senior citizen and also a retiree?
