Did you know that three-fourths of older workers blame age discrimination for their lack of confidence in finding a new job? To bring attention to this critical issue, we conducted a social experiment by setting up a fake business that gave out free gift baskets. The results were eye-opening, exposing the barriers and ageist assumptions that older workers face in the job search process. It's time to address and combat age discrimination in the workplace to create a more inclusive and equitable job market for all ages. #AgeDiscrimination #InclusiveWorkplace #DiversityAndInclusion #WorkplaceEquity #ProfessionalGrowth

AARP reposted this
On July 1, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg began. President Lincoln later paid tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives there in his famous Gettysburg Address, which is often regarded as the greatest speech in American history. As we celebrate the Fourth of July this year, we pay tribute to those who have served and those who continue to serve our nation today. I hope you will watch, listen, and be inspired by this very poignant reading of Lincoln’s address, by actor Sam Waterston, part of our newly launched AARP Members Edition.
