Why many talented professionals in their late 30s, 40s and older are not benefiting from the tight job market

It's widely reported that we are in the midst of an amazingly strong economy with a record-high level of employment. However, the United States government and the media—merely regurgitating government data—are detrimentally ignoring a segment of the population who are not participating in the so-called hiring boom.

Many also claim that there is a movement by senior executives to carve out middle management in cost-saving measures. The result of removing middle managers is that their roles are eliminated in a reorganization. The manager’s staff then reports directly to a higher-level executive, thereby saving the company money.

The professionals, more often than not, have been laid off in the past, so they know the drill. They fill out applications, send résumés and follow up with emails and calls. However, now something strange is happening. The middle-aged and older job seekers are not receiving any callbacks or feedback for interview requests. On the rare occasion they do interview, the applicants get ghosted and are left in the dark as to what happened and why they were not selected.
