Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers
by David H. Wegman

They’ve learned from older workers’ mistakes that indeed their career advancement and new opportunities depend greatly on contacts with others. So they start networking groups of all kinds. You may think that these are meat markets, not meet markets, but in fact, most of them are serious endeavors to help one another professionally, not personally. Take the “Friday Lunch Club,” a venture that started last year with twelve young professionals who gathered for lunch in Indianapolis. Now they have 256 members who engage one another about networking to better jobs and opportunities, and to have a little fun.
