Older jobseekers struggling to find employment

Wellington Pools is looking for a lifeguard over 50 years old according to an advertisement, which told applicants "forget your preconceptions of what lifeguard looks like...we want people from all stages of life." But a job site for older workers looking for jobs said with 7000 registered jobseekers over the age of 50, they need more opportunities like this to match the spike in people looking. The team behind the seniors at work website say they have noticed more and more older workers have been struggling over the last nine months and a slow down in recruitment generally especially impacts them. Seniors at Work Founder Ian Fraser spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
