Old men over forty eight gain jobs in Chicago firms
Thirty seven men past 46 are employed by four Chicago firms as the city tests a program aimed at offering work to older men shut out by age thresholds. The initiative, led by local philanthropists and businessmen, reports the workers perform the same tasks as younger staff and at equal efficiency. Committee chair Benjamin J. Romer frames this as a push to restore men barred by age limits and reintegrate them into the workforce.
