Mature Workers

If you’re over 50 and working or looking for work, you’re not alone. You’re part of a growing and diverse group of people in their 50s, 60s and 70s staying in or returning to the workforce.

You Have a Lot to Offer

As a mature worker you’ve developed valuable skills, abilities and knowledge over your lifetime. When people like you leave the workforce, organizations can lose experience, leadership and history. Employers and policy makers realize this and are taking steps to support and encourage mature workers.
