Mature Age Unemployment – Trends, Myths and Barriers
By Career Coaching

The Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2013, states that fifty years ago, the majority of Australians who worked were men working full-time. Most worked well into their 60s, sometimes beyond, and if they were not working most were looking for work until that age. The picture now is very different.
