Our rural communities face unique challenges, including population decline, lack of broadband access, child care, housing availability, and industry shifts. These challenges disproportionately affect older women and workers of color. At our Equity Summit last month, our panelists Cornelius Blanding, Executive Director at the Federation of Southern Cooperatives; Paul Rosson, Executive Director at the TENNESSEE ASSOCIATION OF HUMAN RESOURCE AGENCIES; and Nathaniel Smith, Founder and Chief Equity Officer at the Partnership for Southern Equity, discussed creative rural focused solutions that empower older workers and help to ensure equitable access to economic opportunity and good jobs. Thank you to, Editor-in-Chief at WorkingNation for moderating the panel. Please visit our website to view their conversation: https://lnkd.in/edSQiAjK

Ageism Awareness Day: Shattering the Age Barrier in Hiring Today, on Ageism Awareness Day, we confront a startling reality from the CWI Labs Age Inclusion in the Workforce Survey: 59% of older U.S. job seekers believe their age is a hiring obstacle. This isn’t just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call. Ageism is not only unfair but age discrimination costs the U.S. economy $850 billion a year - a staggering figure that will climb as high as $3.9 trillion by 2050. It’s time to challenge these outdated biases and embrace the full spectrum of talent. Let’s advocate for a workforce where every age is valued and every voice is heard. 🔗 Discover more about the survey and join the fight against ageism: https://lnkd.in/e-WErhDs #AgeismAwarenessDay #InclusiveWorkplace #DiversityAndInclusion #AgeInclusion #EqualOpportunities
