WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 26, 2006--Jobs4.0
(www.jobs4point0.com) announces the launch of the first online job board focusing exclusively on job opportunities for candidates ages 40 and above, making it the first and only job board for employers seeking to hire experienced workers.

"We're excited about filling such an important niche in the job search marketplace" said Jobs4.0 founder and CEO (Chief Employment Officer) Steven J. Greenberg. "U.S. labor demographics clearly reveal the increasing prevalence of mature workers for both men and women. Savvy employers are looking to hire more experienced workers, but traditional job boards simply aren't designed to meet their needs. Mature workers have learned the hard way that having 'too much experience' is often fatal to even being considered for jobs found on the mainstream job boards and classified ads."

Jobs4.0's corporate customers understand that older workers generally work more efficiently and with far greater stability than younger workers. "Employee retention is much higher with older workers, they require less training and they're an excellent source for temporary or seasonal work", Greenberg said. "Moreover, by actively seeking over-40 job candidates through Jobs4.0, participating companies demonstrate a commitment to their equal opportunity hiring policies."

Jobs4.0 is the product of years of research on how the seismic changes in worker demographics will impact the recruiting strategies and attitudes of companies throughout the U.S. Over the next 10 years, over 76 million baby boomers will retire, but only 46 million younger workers are in line to replace them. As a result, "even those companies that don't immediately recognize the skills and knowledge that mature workers offer will be compelled to look anew at the over-40 talent pool. And Jobs4.0 will be the place to do that,"
Greenberg said.

In addition to its job board, Jobs4.0 will provide editorial content geared toward baby-boomer job trends. Special features include profiles of successful executives who began their careers after 40, and a yearly survey of the country's best employers for over-40 workers.

"Jobs4.0 is competitively priced, not only far below recruiters' fees, but our introductory packages are lower than all of the major job boards and classified advertising services," Greenberg added. Jobs4.0 lists full, part-time and seasonal positions in all job categories across the U.S., and it allows job seekers to review all job listings without charge. Employers pay to post opportunities classified by job category and location for each position.
