Franchising as an Option for Laid-off Workers

If the economy has not affected your job, it has likely affected the job of someone you know. Recently, a lot of stories in the press have featured laid-off workers in their 50s and 60s. These workers have 30-40 years of great experience, but they are too close to retirement, too experienced, and/or too expensive to fill the positions that employers are hiring for. For these workers, franchising is a wonderful option.

After decades of working for someone else, unemployed older workers will find that franchising offers them the support, training, financial independence, and quality of life that they've always wanted. Do you have a strong sales background and a good track record of customer satisfaction? If so, a Maintenance or Maid Service franchise is probably a good fit for you. Do you have a passion for helping people? If so, a Senior Care franchise may be a fit for your requirements. Are you passionate about kids and education? An Education franchise will help you help children be successful in the classroom. Is your hobby wood working, video games, or pets?

A laid-off worker with dozens of years of experience does not have to settle for a job that leaves them "under-employed". Franchising can provide the income you need and the job satisfaction that may have been elusive as an employee. Why not become an employer?
