McCoy is excited about helping
older adults They become
discouraged when no one hires
them, he said Hardest hit are
those in their 50s and 50s, too

he said
According to the U S Depart-

There are affirmative action

age discrimination a difficult to
prove. McCoy said Many firms
cue their policy on age — man

extremely poor who don’t hear
about the benefits and assistance
programs are in the worst bind.
But money isn’t the only reason
EARN has attracted job-seekers
Goldie Greenfield, who is 67 and
drives a mini-bus summed it up
in one sentence: “If I don’t have

Bus 62, a taxi service operated by
the council Greenfield has been
driving trucks since she was 15.
and this bus is no trick to drive,
she insisted Power steering,
power brakes. "It’s just like
sitting and knitting," she said
"It's about as easy as I can do
and still keep working." •
She's a steady driver who's not
afraid to "run for daylight" when
there's a break in traffic, but
she's careful on the pedal Still,
her customers are a little startled
to see her behind the wheel
Like many, Greenfield works
for the minimum wage but is glad
to get the work and feels great
being outdoors
Wendell Kassoon, 65, a retired
construction and pipeline
engineer, works but earns less
than union scale However he
said, he doesn’t pay union dues
and nothing is withheld from his
check, so he doesn't complain He
saidhe also < an set his own hours
and quit work when he wants to
His last job was remodeling the
exterior of a house — prying
gutters loose, setting up a con-
crete porch — and he enjoyed
himself immensely
Kassoon said he’s had more
work offered hen than he wanted
"I went in, signed up. and before
I got home I had a call " Kassoon
said he can earn up to $4,000 a
year in addition to his Social
Security benefits
The project is picking up
momentum Employers who
never hired older adults are
becoming aware of their
spectalities
