How will our “aging” society affect job openings and occupational choices for students in the future?
Our aging affects job openings, because our generation has to work longer to retire, and because of the bad economy, many older workers had to go back into the work force, leaving fewer job for students. Sometimes students have a college degree, but don’t have the work experience to go with the degree, so they have a hard time getting a job. On the other hand, many older workers are loosing their jobs because it is easier for a company to fire people with longevity, and hire younger workers at a lower salary. That really doesn’t solve much, but they do it.
