Welcome to Workforce50

We are the bold, new senior job center with a rich history. Our predecessor, the SeniorJobBank, began efforts in 1975 to find jobs for older workers. Then the service moved to the Web in 1998 where senior-friendly employers reached out to senior job seekers. Today, Workforce50 is leading the way toward better employment opportunities for the over-50 community and the strategic inclusion of this demographic group in workforce development initiatives.

Workforce50 carries forward its rich legacy of the SeniorJobBank with pride. However, we have undergone far more than a simple change in name and look. Workforce50 is an innovative employment resource portal specifically serving job seekers over the age of 50 and the organizations actively recruiting them.

Much has been written in recent years about the aging of the American population and the workforce shortage that we will face as a nation. Already, our senior workers are, perhaps, this nation's most underutilized resource. Collectively they represent a tremendous pool of talent and experience. Workforce50 is committed to keeping older Americans, who want to work, in the mainstream in meaningful, productive and rewarding jobs.

The workforce of tomorrow is here today. Workforce50 is their community center.

Careers and Education

Workforce50 has added a career and education section to assist boomers and seniors who are considering a career or job transition. We provide typical salary and job growth data for a wide range of job opportunities that might be of interest to our readers. Local data is available for each job in major metropolitan areas across the country and includes the number of jobs, mean salary and a local popularity index.

In addition to the career data, we provide information on training and education for each career listed. For instance, if a reader is interested in becoming a mechanical drafter, we provide information on schools that have training programs to become a mechanical drafter. Schools are listed by state if they are campus-based and online if the training is delivered online. Readers can request more information on specific training programs using the links to the online forms.
