Publisher's Synopsis
Provocative New Book Examines Economy's Effects on Older Workers John K. Hulett Highlights Age Discrimination and Challenges Finding a Job in Middle Age MINNEAPOLIS - American jobs are vanishing at a rapid rate in today's dismal economy. Job bias claims have been hitting record highs while jobless markets continue to flood the nation, forcing millions into unemployment and underemployment. John K. Hulett seeks to draw attention to age discrimination in the workplace and how the current shortage of jobs is affecting older job-seekers in his comprehensive new book, AGE DISCRIMINATION: AN EPIDEMIC IN AMERICA AFFECTING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES (published by AuthorHouse). "Experience and wisdom are two qualities that come with age and they cannot be purchased or degreed, gifted nor substituted for youth, greed, and ignorance," Hulett writes. AGE DISCRIMINATION: AN EPIDEMIC IN AMERICA chronicles five failed investigations prompted by Hulett's lawsuit claiming age discrimination. Hulett details how the government participated in these investigations and how large corporations are protected from employee claims because of their close relationships with many government agencies. He also thoroughly examines the correlation between today's deep recession and age discrimination.
