I can imagine these are the people who were unable to adapt their skills set to the digitalized age and now can only offer themselves as cheap, easily replaced labor or service personnel.
I think it’s more that employers hate hiring older workers, the economy had a downshift a few years ago that wiped out a lot of homeowners, and people who can’t get jobs still need to eat.
