"The American worker might as well get used to being unemployed and unemployable by the time they are even 45 these days.

Forget 55. Corporate American considers workers old at 42 which is the actuarial age where an employee becomes a burden.

It is not like the "good old days when an employer valued older employees and valued longevity, knowledge and seniority.

Times have changed and employers' attitudes have changed big time. The new economy is not only bad for older workers it is also terrible for newer workers as well. "
