A good hiring system that has an employee shortage would have a contact system to get people on board!

Regardless of our extensive career history, there is no incentive for ANYONE to hire someone older than 55 for a career position. Most would stick around for a few years and then retire again. There are literally tens of thousands of us military\GS employees here, so this isn't something unfamiliar. I would argue it actually disincentivizes the hiring for the more professional open position since they know we don't care about the 401k, health benefits, or the charter school. We don't "need" the job, so more of a flight risk!
Just looking at the openings for TV and the districts.... Security at the town square has openings at $10 and community watch has some for a little bit more. If your desire in working is to give back to the community or have a little extra spending money there are a lot of openings.
