Its Not Just me Struggling to Find Work Then

It seems that I'm not the only one. I know of more and more older people that are finding it hard to get work. The majority are finding that enquiries go unanswered. I assume because ageism is illegal, agencies and employers just throw applications from older people in the bin. Given that the job I applied for the other week that was rejected withing hours was a job I'd held down before, I can only assume this is the case.
