Finding your parents or grandparents a part-time job could be easier in the future thanks to the work of Do Good Door County. The new organization will introduce a new program called MatchUp during a presentation at the Door County Economic Development Corporation on May 23rd at 11 a.m. The program is designed to help older adults who want to find a part-time job find employers who need reliable and experienced workers. Do Good Door County’s Cynthia Germain says their surveys and listening sessions showed that older adults in the area do not just want to be idle all day.
The event will also be available to attend over Zoom. Last year, Bloomberg magazine estimated that because of inflation and depleted savings, people ages 75 and up in the workforce will grow over 95 percent during the next decade.
