Life Begins at 40: Workers 40 and older are being sought to provide input for a
new survey aimed at determining which companies offer the best employment for
the age group. The survey is being prepared by the Cannon Survey Center at the
University of Nevada-Las Vegas and job site Job 4.0 in Westport, Connecticut.
Fueling interest in the research is a demographic statistic that indicates more
than half of the U.S. workforce soon will be composed of people at least 40—a
time when many job seekers find their credentials “overwhelmingly ignored by HR
departments”
that zero in on their age, not their abilities, Job says Steven J. Greenberg,
CEO of Job 4.0. Participants can access the survey at Job 4.0’s Web site. Survey
results are expected to be available in February.
