When Fia flipped through her local paper and saw a mug-making workshop, something clicked. ‘I want to do that,’ she thought—and that simple decision changed everything.
Join us by phone or on Facebook on Thursday, January 15 at 10:00 am for a conversation about mature workers and how they can use local resources to learn new skills, re-enter the workforce, or find jobs consistent with their interests and abilities. We’ll discuss career tips, job-search tools, and professional resources that every experienced worker can use to sharpen their skills or get hired. AARP knows that people are living and working longer, and experienced workers bring expertise, maturity, and perspective. Experienced workers should have a level playing field in their ability to compete for, obtain, and retain jobs, so we have invited Associates for Training and Development, or A4TD, to join us on our call.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, AARP Senior Vice President, Government Affairs, Joyce Rogers, released the following statement in reaction to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services release of hospital charge records showing wide disparities in pricing:
Remember just last year—an election year—when political leaders in Washington and on the campaign trail told us they would not cut Social Security benefits for people currently in the program? Now, President Obama is pushing a budget deal that includes a proposal called “chained CPI,” a fancy Washington term that really means cutting Social Security and veterans’ benefits, and increasing taxes for most taxpayers. The chained CPI would cut the cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security and veterans’ benefits by $146 billion in the first 10 years alone, while also raising taxes by $124 billion.
As our state struggles with difficult budget decisions, it is essential that these decisions reflect the underlying values and priorities upon which a budget is built. How and where we spend money on health care and the needs of the poor and our vulnerable neighbors are directly and inextricably linked to economic challenges.
