Yet, other studies have shown us that they're very rarely recruited all that aggressively. A joint survey by the Society of Human Resource Management and the American Association of Retired Persons says that less than half of all companies have recruitment programs aimed at older workers. The reason appears to be that employers see the older workers as not being technologically sophisticated enough to be productive. That will probably change. With the hiring market getting really tight, companies will have to look in new places and ways for good folks to hire.
Older workers are likely to be a good bet.
