Southern Utah And Nevada Is Taking Over Jobs Now

Have you noticed our area features seniors in a lot of different jobs? My family got ice cream in Mesquite and the front counter was run by 3 older ladies. A recent trip to the dentist saw me interacting with a senior receptionist telling me about how great their much younger doctor is with implants.

It seems like where I would once expect a younger person doing a specific job, I find our older citizens filling the position. Well analysts have noted that there is a trend where jobs that are overlooked by the younger workers are getting snatched up by seniors.

According to this study here is a list of jobs that seniors are happy to do that seem to be overlooked by younger workers.

Receptionist – Being able to sit and visit with clients seems to fit well with an older employee.

Cashier – While sitting may not be available there is not much heavy lifting and the ability to visit with customers seems to be attractive.

Event Staffers – At first I thought we were talking about event security, but then I realized that more often than not the ticket handler and usher positions are often managed by seniors in our area.

School Bus Drivers – Slide over Otto Man (the Simpsons) this job is being staffed by your father's dad.

Substitute Teachers – with a high level of experience and knowledge it is no wonder that this position attracts an older set, plus the wisdom of age might control the class better.

Seniors in the workplace seems especially true in our area where we have a sizeable population of healthy seniors, so don’t be surprised if the next time you visit with your child's teacher it feels like you are talking to your grandparents.
