AARP Foundation and The Employment Guide[R] Partner to Connect Older Workers with Businesses at a Special Job Fair Series

NORFOLK, Va. -- In response to an aging workforce and a tightening labor market, AARP Foundation and The Employment Guide, a division of Dominion Enterprises, have combined efforts to bring together older workers with companies who seek their talents. The Employ the Older Workers Job Fair Series, taking place in 55 cities across the country from late August through October, will give employers the opportunity to meet and interview thousands of job seekers, all age 40 and older.

Employers interested in participating should contact Amy Hoster, Employment Guide business development manager, at 888-606-7896 ext. 238 or amy.hoster@employmentguide.com or visit http://olderworkers.employmentguide.com.

The Employ the Older Workers Job Fair Series is being held in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor's National Employ Older Workers Week, Sept. 22-26, 2008. As Baby Boomers begin to gray, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that by 2010, 17 percent of the U.S. workforce will be 55 and older, compared to 13 percent in 2000. And, nearly seven out of 10 workers age 45-74 tell AARP that they plan to work in some capacity in retirement.
