Hey, if you think it's hard finding a job now, try being old.
According to a report by AARP, seniors have seen a 70 percent increase in unemployment over the last year. Despite decades of experience, the report says, the elderly can't find gigs.
A story from 10connects.com quotes an AARP spokesman:
"When people are cutting back, they're cutting back on a lot of the senior population," said Bob Yakubisin of the American Association of Retired Persons Foundation Work Search Program.
On the bright side, Wal-Mart is one of the only retailers making money right now, and they love to hire seniors ... for greeters.
