In February, the unemployment rate for workers older than 55 climbed to 7.1 percent from 6.8 in January. That&#8217;s higher than it&#8217;s ever been since the 1940&#8217;s, but lower than the overall national rate, which stands at 9.7 percent<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;font: 18.0px Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;font: 18.0px Helvetica\">In addition to those seniors who are unemployed there are many whose retirements savings have been decimated and therefore have to rejoin the work force. Both groups are facing descrimination because of their age, as well as a job market that requires new skills to interview. The job fairs include help with using the Internet, resume consultation, meetings with companies that are hiring and even a fashion show which illustrates how to dress for the interview and workplace.
