Technology has become so impairative to the modern-day citizen, and it is slowly taking over the workforce as well. Registers are now touch-screen, and most of the machines are now smarter than the employees working them.
As the technology advances in the workplace, more and more potential employees are being "left in the dust." Typically, the older the potential employee gets, the harder it is for them to grasp the new technology that is being used in the workplace. This creates a high demand for technology savvy "young" employees, giving the "elder" employee less of a chance to get a job. This void is causing many people to be unemployed, or taking jobs way below the salary they actually deserve. The only viable solution is for employers to stop basing potential employees off of their age, and for those employees to take a few technology classes. Who knows, a $70 class may eventually lead to a job paying triple that amount a day!
