National Employ Older Workers Week
Yes, there is a "National Employ Older Workers Week" celebrated in the U.S. This year it is September 21-29. A few activities are listed at the U.S. Dept of Labor website, including job fairs for seniors and mature workers in several cities.
At the website for the Baltimore Employment Guide, I noticed some diversity job fairs that are "Official Older Worker on Board Job Fair Participants." One coming up on August 28 in Atlanta includes Home Depot, Babies R Us and Borders, companies who are on the AARP National Employer Team and who recognize that older workers make up a very important part of the workforce. At least Home Depot hires seasonal and temporary workers who can then transfer to other stores.
There are sorts of work possibilities for the worker on the RV road. The Employment Guide is one of several free employment newspapers found in many cities in newspaper dispensers and bins on street corners and grocery stores. Looking up their viritual job fairs led me to this information and other job ideas that RVers may not traditionally think of. Think outside the box! Jaimie
