Old Retired Guy Gig Economy [View all]

I've been offered a bunch of jobs this year. 70 years old and retired in a small village and I know most of the small business owners.

Their problem is they can't find any workers, or ones that will work and stay. They hire young people that stay around for one or two paychecks and then they are gone, or seem to take a day or two a week off.

Enter us old farts. Dependable, on time and use to working. One guy has a window installing business another a bump shop and one has a rental business. None of them can find help.
