SUBJECT:
PROCLAIM MARCH 13-19, 1994 AS EMPLOY THE OLDER WORKER WEEK IN
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim March 13th through March 19th as Employ The Older Worker Week
in Contra Costa County and encourage all corporate executives and
community businesses to recruit and hire mature workers which bring
maturity skills, stability, a stronger work ethic and better attitudes and
communication skills to the workplace.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Whereas, Governor Pete Wilson has declared March 13-19, 1994, as Employ
The Older Worker Week in California; and the Counties Private Industry
Council and Office on Aging are encouraged to coordinate promotional
activities with local community businesses.
Today, one in five individuals is 55 or older. Demographic trends show a
growing aging population as the baby-boom generation joins the ranks of
55 and older. The number of young people entering the job market today
is slower than in previous decades. Also, mature individuals today are
more health-conscious and the death rate has declined due to improved
health and longevity.
