The worst U.S. economic recession in 70 years is forcing senior citizens out of retirement, leaving them fighting for jobs in a weak labor market or risk homelessness, according to a private study.

“These people are at the age where they understandably thought their job-searching years were behind them,” said Cynthia Metzler, president and CEO of Experience Works.

“But here they are, many in their 60s, 70s and beyond, desperate to find work so they can keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.”

Ninety percent of respondents 76 years and older planned to continue working for the next five years. Read More

The senior citizens are hurting and what does Obama and the democrats do, they disallows a Social Security cost of living increase and plans to cut $100 billion dollars from Medicare benefits! While at the same time giving billions to big companies and banks!

Jack Gourley can remember another, easier time, before a wrenching recession stripped him and countless others of their financial security.

A time when people wanted his milk, when international demand for dairy products soared and people spent their paychecks on meals out — buying the cheeseburgers and pizzas that keep dairy farms like this one in business.

In 2007 and early 2008, many dairy farmers were riding a wave of high bulk-milk prices.

But the sense of security turned to dust as the market dried up. The economy crashed, U.S. milk production began to outpace consumption, bulk milk prices plunged to levels they were at 18 years earlier, and farmers were left with too many cows and too much milk. A spike in the price of fuel and feed only compounded the problem.

Now, many farmers aren’t even making what it costs them to produce the milk they sell. Read More

Have no worry, Obama can turn a speech into milk and honey! These farmers are going to have a rough time ahead, their cattle feed (corn) being turn into fuel createing a shortage, and if they have to provide health care insurance for their farm hands along with the last Democrats fed wage increase, how will they stay in business?
