The Case for Hiring Older Workers In the U.S., job vacancies have outnumbered job applicants since 2018. This is largely a result of baby boomers reaching retirement at a rate faster than millennials are able to step into their place. To continue to grow our economy, companies need to take action by bringing older people back to work and giving them meaningful, important jobs. This may seem simple, but age bias is a serious hurdle. Many companies prioritize hiring cheaper, younger workers who they believe are more valuable than someone more expensive with more expertise. Contrary to popular belief, however, older, more tenured people are more successful entrepreneurs. Those over the age of 40 are three times more likely to create successful companies as a result of their patient, collaborative natures, and their lack of have a “need to prove myself” attitude. Companies that want to see our economy flourish need to take action and give them more opportunities.
There’s a lot of talk about gender bias, racial bias, and culture bias at work, and each are important for many reasons. But perhaps one of the biggest and most problematic types of bias we face is the bias of age: we often evaluate people based on their age, and this is now becoming a major challenge in the workplace.

WorkWork WorkWork WorkWorkFind Out Why This Jewelry Designer Favors Rough, Odd-Shaped Pearls And Gemstones   I think you can connect with the origin and back story of rough stones more. I find faceted gemstones too uniform and their stories get lost; they all look the same. However, we do use them sometimes, but do our own faceted design and introduce them in a way that softens them by creating an ombré of color or even a rainbow color setting. To be honest with you, sustainability is on my radar, but my focus is more on working with ethical people who are passionate and respectful of what they produce. The pearl farms in China and Japan that we work with are brilliant. The gemstones sourced are from my father’s friend, gemologist Richard W. Hughes, who supports all sorts of Thai gem traders, and quite often a lot of them do need help financially, so I really like to be a moving engine helping these wonderful people in the industry.
