It's all work and no rest for these senior citizens
A majority of them are seeking jobs as administrators and supervisors
Life after 60 years may be about retirement for some, but not for all. The number of senior citizens seeking jobs to ensure that they are financially independent is on the rise.
Out of 2,622 senior citizens who were placed between 2011 and September 2018 by the Nightingales Medical Trust, a majority were employed in admin departments and as supervisors. Other job roles popular among senior citizens include cashiers and accountants.
The trust, since 2011, runs a programme called the Nightingales Job 60 plus which aims to provide employment to senior citizens so that they have job security.
