Many of the companies at the
job fair were offering entry-level
positions. Entry-level jobs for ex-
perienced workers, some with 20-
30 years of employment under
their belts?
"That's the way of the world,"
Ms. Brown said. "Some older
workers think they can walk out
of one job and walk into another
comparable one. It doesn't hap-
pen all the time. Sometimes peo-
ple need to change their
expectations."
