That sucks. Don't they have senior jobagencies over there? We have them over here, and a guy at my old job was hired thru one of those. It are not great jobs ( he worked as the printing and storageroom guy, and he had been a accountmanager in his youngher years) but they might have something for her. It is terrible that a lot of people are out of a job. Unemployment is very high here too, and they are more likely to hire someone who if youngher. Good luck to her
