They say the Economy is okay. I beg to differ.

I was laid off from my job. Ive been looking for 4 months. A few interviews here and there but it gets hard to get rejection letter after rejection letter. Im going through job agencies and Indeed etc. There arent many jobs and when you apply you are against lots of other applicants applying. Im older and I think there is also job discrimination. Just feeling discouraged 😞

You are right. Older people face more discrimination. I speak from experience after leaving my nursing career, I found good jobs are scarce. The employers do not pay living wages. They would also rather hire students who get less wages too. All I can say is that you have value. You will have to look longer and harder. Try networking. You may have to take a job that is "beneath you". Good luck. I think you will find one by the end of the year. It will be a surprise. Keep us update, Hope.
