Why can't western society find a job over the age of 35?

The "discrimination" in western society is a red line that cannot be touched. You can't ask the other person's age, place of origin or even gender during the interview, or you will be accused of discrimination if you refuse after asking. So unless you are very old, it is difficult for the employer to judge whether your actual age is over 35. But I'm not saying that there is no age discrimination, and all kinds of discrimination are everywhere, but employers can't be so obvious. Employers should try to recruit people of all genders, races and ages to make their companies look "diversified".

Another reason is that there are not many purely physical jobs in western society. In countries like the United States, the manufacturing industry has shrunk (I didn't say that the manufacturing industry has gone to zero, I just said that it has shrunk and low profits have been squeezed out). There are not many industrial workers, and there are not many jobs for you to take a sledgehammer. The main employment opportunities are in the service industry, supermarket cashier and so on, regardless of age. The cashiers I have met are getting old. I know truck drivers in their fifties and sixties. Because they don't work overtime and overload here, their lives are quite moist and they don't work very hard. Because the intensity of technical work such as programmers is far less than that in China, old programmers have an advantage by experience.

Many people also choose to do odd jobs, water other people's gardens, walk their dogs and look after their children. Many of them just need cash, not to mention paying taxes, and they can get some relief with extremely low income. Not worse than a real job.

Some friends say that sleeping on the street is very hard, taking drugs and drinking, and being hollowed out. This article will not discuss them, because the topic is about people who can't find a job at the age of 35. You said that few of these homeless people are willing to find jobs. If they want to, they will help them give up drinking and drug addiction, but these things are hard to give up. So I'm talking about people who are willing to work and have the ability to work. Even if they don't have any skills, they can actually live well. They have meat for every meal, go out and drive cars, and their children go to free public schools. If their children are willing to study, they can also borrow money to go to college in the future. Of course, they don't have much cash and deposits at home, and they will feel poor. How much can I earn a year to feel that I don't need it? I still feel nervous.
