After watching Dispatches last night it has become very clear to me that we have a new discrimination against the older generation when it comes to employment. People with damn good CV's are being passed over in favour of a younger and quite often not experienced workforce. Surely reaching a certain age doesn't mean you are incapable of doing a good job. I am talking about people as young as late forties/early fifties here. Surely companies are losing out as well as older potential employees?
