Car park wardens

I visited the National Skin Center two weeks ago. On driving into the car park, I was guided by a uniformed warden to a vacant space. I talked to him and learned that he was 66 years old.

It is a good idea to provide this type of employment for our older workers who need a job to get by. It keeps the elderly worker physically fit and active, and improves service to visitors of the car park. The warden can also provide directions.

If these decisions are left to individual businesss, most of them would prefer to save cost and not create this type of employment. However, if they are mandated to be necessary for car paks of certain sizes, there will be more jobs that are created for our older workers.
