SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND
JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATION
To declare the week of March 8-14, 1992, as "HIRE AN OLDER
WORKER WEEK" in Contra Costa County, to remind the
business community that older workers are one of our
community's most valuable resources, and to encourage all
businesses in the county to give equal opportunity to
individuals age 55 or older when filling job openings.
Until recently, many older workers were forced to retire
and live a sedentary life. Today, an increasingly healthy
and skilled senior community is available as a valuable
pool of potential .employees. During Older Worker Week,
the County is asked to urge employers to hire older
workers and to publicize this through the press.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.

III. REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The governor has declared March 8-14, 1992, as "Hire the
Older Worker Week" in California (copy of proclamation
attached) , and as a joint endeavor the Contra Costa County
Private Industry Council (PIC) , the County Social Service
Department, the County Office on Aging and local offices
of the California Employment Development Department
encourage the Board of Supervisors to support this effort.
It is essential that employers know of the avail-
ability of an untapped pool of mature workers who
want to work and who take pride in their job performance.
Contrary to the myth that older workers are slow learners
who are unable to keep pace in today's workplace,
employers have discovered that older workers are reliable,
stable employees who bring to the job a strong work
ethic and a high level of employer loyalty.
