One barrier ...A comment I got on my Facebook wall.<br /><br />One barrier to people rising in their careers is that people with more seniority don't move on - making room for others to move up. One reason to keep working is for health insurance from their employer. If we had universal health care, I could have quit sooner to pursue other interests. A different job, or maybe no job - the latter would also be a way to keep jobs open.<br /><br />Many jobs only provide insurance if you're full time. I would have much rather have cut back to part time rather than retiring. Again, that means more hours for someone else to work.Theslowlane Robert Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082164332880198884noreply@blogger.com
