I guess because I "work" whenever I get a call with a sub list of 36 people for perhaps 80 aides and may get called twice a week, I am considered "employed" and not considered a liability anymore. Or whatever. Of course employers are trying to screen out the longterm unemployed as a way to weed out what they think are undesirables, but of course LT unemployment disproportionately affects older employees and minorities.
Lotsa luck though trying to sue on the basis of discrimination.
What kills many workers is the fact they are told by "experts" they need to use "chronological resumes," which are worthless if you aren't currently employed, to submit to employers rather than a combination or a functional resume. They look for "gaps" in jobs, and that is supposed to be a "red flag" to them.
