Hiring senior citizens

Baby boomers are called "Silver Tsunami" since they have impacted each and every aspect of society. More than 76 million people are now over the age of 60 and they don't want to quit working. They are ready to change the assumptions people have about the workplace and this is a great opportunity for business owners who will consider hiring senior citizens.


Older workers are very flexible and this is something employers crave. They also have a better understanding of teamwork and interpersonal skills. This is one of the biggest keys to success.

Still, many companies shy away from hiring senior workers because of misplaced preconceptions. But, when employed in the right job, this ever expanding pool of talent can be exactly what your business needs.
