ShAARP Session: Observations from AARP

I came across a great AP article about how older workers are struggling to find a job during the recession, and largely because of their age.

As there has been much evidence that companies discriminate based on a person's age, folks are going to great lengths to appear younger on paper and even in person - from omitting college graduation dates to actually taking botox injections. (Yes, really.) When a group of people are changing their lives and identity in such a way to avoid being discriminated against, that tells me there's a problem.

Check out the entire piece here, and also take a look at AARP's recent feature on how to look out for signs of bias or discriminatory questions in job interviews.
