    Losing your job that late in life can be quite a problem. Not many employers want to put in the time and effort of hiring someone and getting them up to speed for their new role, only to see them retire a few years later.

      most millennials only spend 3 years tops at each job anyway.

        This exactly. Not just millennials but everyone. Hire based on skills and pay a competitive rate, because you can’t predict who will stick around based on their age.

      I’d hire an older person with a solid work history any day. They more experience they can show, the less of a gamble they are.
