    Are there even companies that are looking actively for 65+ yo people?

    Maybe Walmart greeters? I don’t think they expect people to actually get jobs at 70 years old. I think they expect them to have to cash out early, and then the government will steal a sizable chunk of the money they’re owed.

      We don’t have Walmart and our shops don’t have greeters, so that’s one line of employment we’re short of.

        We do have ASDA though and it’s basically the same.

          Asda was owned by Walmart for a bit, but it isn’t anymore. Got sold to the guys who own the Euro Garages petrol station chain. And although it was owned by them, it was never really run like a US Walmart. No greeters, for a start.
