"Ageism in the Job Market: Challenges Faced by Mid-Career and Older Workers"

Gen X workers are facing ageism in the job market, with many experiencing challenges in securing roles due to perceptions of being less adaptable to technological advancements. The confluence of mass layoffs, economic uncertainty, and rapid technological change has exacerbated the issue, leaving mid-career workers in a vulnerable position. Age discrimination, particularly against those aged 40 to 65, is prevalent, impacting career opportunities and advancement. Employers' biases are blinding them to the valuable skills and experience that older workers bring to the table, and there is a need for more age-inclusive practices in the workplace.
