Is it easy for middle-aged people to get re-employed after unemployment?

It is not easy for middle-aged people to find jobs again after unemployment. Because middle-aged people need to face more difficulties and troubles, the chances of re-employment will be less than those of young people.

I'll tell you some real examples around me for your reference.

My relative used to be an accountant in an arsenal. He was only in his twenties when he first started working. Later, the arsenal went bankrupt because of poor efficiency. At this time, my relative is 45 years old and has two children who need to study. The pressure is really great. Helpless, the arsenal closed down, he was unemployed at home and looked for a job every day. I didn't know the outside world had changed a long time ago.

So, why is it so difficult for middle-aged people to find jobs? I think there are the following aspects.

Middle-aged people cannot compete with young people.

An important reason why it is difficult for middle-aged people to find jobs is that enterprises are more willing to recruit young people than middle-aged people. Unless you are a technician with rich work experience or excellent skills, it is difficult to change jobs or find a new job after 35 years old.

First of all, young people are physically fit and can stand staying up late. Many enterprises have begun to adopt "996" as their business model. If middle-aged people are allowed to stay up late and work overtime every day, I am afraid they will not last for a few months. Not only that, middle-aged people's acceptance ability is weaker than that of young people, and their efficiency will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, on the same salary standard, enterprises can recruit young people with stronger ability and higher efficiency. Why not?

Middle-aged people suffer from academic qualifications.

We found that many people who are still looking for jobs at the age of 50 actually have no advantage in academic qualifications. First of all, people born in the 1960s and 1970s have different standards for academic qualifications. Some students with excellent academic performance choose to study in technical secondary schools or junior colleges. On the contrary, some students with average or lower academic performance ended up in positions that we now look very popular, such as national tax and local tax. Moreover, there are many people who can follow in their father's footsteps and can't find a job without education.

Therefore, in those days, education was not the most important thing. However, with the prosperity of market economy, some factory workers are gradually replaced by industrialized machines, which bring higher output and lower costs, so a large number of older workers in their forties and fifties are facing the crisis of being laid off. Moreover, in the current job market, college education is very common, and there is no advantage in both education and age.

The result of rational choice of enterprises

In fact, there are many reasons beyond our control, but the result is that many people's work skills have not reached a certain height, which leads to little room for improving their professional skills and dealing with unfavorable positions in job competition.

Especially after middle age, physical strength began to decline, affecting the value of the company. When the company encounters some unfavorable situations, it will compare newcomers with middle-aged people. It is generally believed that newcomers have more room for promotion, so middle-aged people are laid off first.

What should I do after middle-aged unemployment?

1. Keep an open and confident mind.

I still have to live after losing my job, and I am too old to complain. We should immediately clear up our sadness, analyze the reasons for our unemployment, and then formulate countermeasures to find ways to get back to work.

2. Give play to your interest.

This time, I will have a choice in employment. Of course, I will choose what I like best, so that when I start working, I will be happy, persistent and make money. Especially in the context of internet plus now, as long as you do what you like better, you can get rich returns.

3. Continue to study.

In the past, the era of eating all over the world has passed. Now the Internet not only brings us opportunities, but also brings people closer to knowledge. People's requirements for knowledge are higher, and the changes of the times are also accelerated, which requires us to keep learning and keep up with the development of the times in order to have better harvest.

Now, we live in a particularly good era. Social stability and unity provide us with a particularly good space for development, and the average life expectancy of people has also been extended. There is no need to worry about middle-aged unemployment. As long as you are willing to work hard, study hard and persist, there will be a very good way out.
