I guess my question is not whether it is legal but rather if The Villages avoids hiring people who are 70 or older? There may be some in the rec centers or golf that are over 70 but were any hired after they were 70 and/or beyond? I only ask as when using these facilities it does not appear that many are 70 or older and it may be resonable be expect more given The Villages 55+ rules.

With the average age said to be 62, perhaps there are higher numbers of individuals younger than 70 applying for employment. I really cannot say from experience, but I believe it is "reasonable" to believe that there are a greater number of people 70 years of age and older who are simply retired.
