In fact, for the first time in nearly 50 years, older workers face higher unemployment than mid-career workers, according to The New School Retirement Equity Lab. And a Champlain College survey found that 9% of boomers and 11% of Gen Xers have lost jobs in the pandemic. Yet despite all the challenges, millions of Americans  did  get hired this year. As of September, the unemployment rate had ticked down to a still steep 7.9% from a near historic 14.7% in April.
