Layoffs Hit Young and Older Workers Hardest in Recession
The AP Economic Stress Index shows high stress in counties with many workers aged 25 to 29 and women over 55. In July Santa Clara County California scored 14.41 and Orange County Florida 15.76, well above the 10.54 county average as unemployment foreclosures and bankruptcies rise. Experts note young workers face higher layoff risk while older workers struggle to recover and face bankruptcy to protect assets.
