Ok the word 'All' implies quite a bit, but I definitely think it's an issue in a lot of industries. Yes age and experience definitely get you to much higher positions but I was thinking of 50+ aged people losing their jobs and then having to find a new company to work for. I've worked in a variety of places and definitely see the trend of it being difficult to get hired or to fit in. The company I currently work for basically runs all of the healthcare in my state and for team lead and supervisor positions upper management seems to prefer people in their early twenties because they're more "pliable". There are men and women here that are older and needed a job to support their family and they're stuck making way less than their experience dictates. I see them getting passed up for promotions and opportunities all the time. Obviously I can't definitively say it's ageism because I don't think things like that are always explicit but from talking to them they definitely infer that that's the reason. Could it be a lack of ambition or that they used their fire up at their previous jobs? Maybe. Something like this is never black and white so who knows?
