    Job Loss After 50: 1.2 Million Laid Off, 40% Face Depression—The Real Cost of Identity Death

    Send us a text Behind the headlines about layoffs and age bias lies a silent crisis: identity death. For men over 50, losing a job isn’t just a financial setback—it’s an existential threat. Today’s deep dive unpacks the psychological toll of job loss, from the collapse of the “career anchor” to the rise in depression and even suicide risk. We explore new legal protections, the myth of the skills gap, and why performing normal hides a much deeper pain. If you’ve ever wondered why job loss after 50 feels so devastating, this is the conversation nobody else is having. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, please know you’re not alone. Help is available. In the US, call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or visit 988lifeline.org.

    65+ Workers Hit 20% Labor Force Participation as Hiring Surges 60% (Split Screen Economy Revealed)

    Send us a text While headlines scream about layoffs and the "slow bleed" economy, something surprising is happening: hiring for workers 65+ has jumped 60% to 8% of total hires. We decode this paradox by connecting three critical sources - ABC News on corporate optimization, a game-changing New York legal memo on disparate impact protection, and shocking labor data showing the "reliability premium" in action. Discover why the same market forces creating anxiety are actually creating protected lanes for experienced workers, how New York's new age discrimination law is reshaping hiring nationwide, and why companies obsessed with efficiency are now seeking the low-risk option in a high-risk world. From algorithmic bias to cultural fit challenges, learn how to position yourself as the solution, not the problem. #ReliabilityPremium #SlowBleedEconomy #DisparateImpact Sign up HERE for a weekly email My Book "Coming Home After 50: A Journey of Rediscovery is available from Amazon: https://a.co/d/injkC3b 🌿 Download your FREE PDFs BELOW Your Reinvention After 50 Guide: https://mailchi.mp/empowerover50.com/reinventionguide Job Loss After 50: First Things First Guide https://mailchi.mp/empowerover50.com/firstthingsfirst https://www.instagram.com/the_english_musical_nomad/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564529386194 https://x.com/T_E_M_Nomad email: max@empowerover50.com
