56% of Workers Over the Age of 50 Will Lose Their Jobs

Are you one of them?

My friend and I talk almost daily about work life after the age of 50. The threat of job loss is real for older workers through no fault of their own. She talked about friends who recently received termination notices because of mergers. Others lost their positions due to changes in administration.

None of us can stop aging. Few can stop working and maintain a comfortable standard of living. So, what should over 50 workers do?

Dan Roth, the editor in chief of LinkedIn joined CBS This Morning to share a few strategies older workers can take to save their jobs. I particularly like “have a side hustle.”
