Those over 50 years of age are one of the age ranges that have taken the longest to recover pre-pandemic employment levels. The unemployment rates in this segment of the population are 1.6% times what they were before covid19.
The time it takes to find a job again has increased: 7.1 months for those between 50 and 59 years old and more than 11 months for people over 60 years old. About 24.3% of unemployed people over 50 face stages of long-term unemployment (12 months or more)
