AARP has recently kicked off a national series of free career fairs for mature job seekers so unemployed workers 50 and older will get some much needed help in their job searches. . The "Helping Experience Work@50+" campaign will host 48 events in 18 states and the District of Columbia. The events will run throughout the year in Seattle and cities as diverse as Detroit, Portland, Oregon, Memphis, Tennessee, Phoenix, Cleveland, Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C. and Sacramento, Calif. More than 2 million people 55 and older were jobless in February, according to data from the AARP Public Policy Institute. While older workers have lower jobless rates than their younger counterparts do, they're more likely to stay unemployed longer. Many of them are staying in the work force to recoup losses in retirement savings suffered in the recession. Others have to support family members who have lost their jobs. The fairs will provide advice on career counseling, encourage skills assessment testing, and advise on how to market you at age 50.
