For both reasons. Many incorrectly assume an older worker will not work as hard as a new graduate. [/quote]

A new graduate can work 14 hour work days. 
Older workers cannot compete with that. If they have kids, there is 0 chance they can compete with that.
So let's not put ourselves into the "work hard" route. [/quote]

Thankfully most places when make a new grad work 14 hours a day. In South Korea perhaps it's possible but here outside of wall street maybe law medecine o don't know I think it's just rare [/quote]

That’s only because the job market is has been good for about 9 years.  When we hit a rough patch they will put in the screws. [/quote]

Job Market was horrific in 2020 and most of 2021 for anyone laid off. in Covid. Worst since Great Depression. Seriously, hotel workers, restaurant workers, car sales it all ground to a halt  [/quote]

Those are all hourly workers. Salaries workers are the one Pp was talking about. Their job market was “bad” for a few months a best. [/quote]

That is because you were not laid off. Geting Laid off in April 2020 was a nightmare for job hunters regardless if salaried or hourly.   [/quote]

Yes it was a scary couple of months, but job market ramped to recovery very quickly so there wasn’t time for employers to capitalize on the labor market weakness to push for longer hours and squeeze pay. They will get the chance don’t worry. [/quote]
