Abstract

The study includes a transcendental phenomenological approach to describe the lived experiences of women over 50 following job losses, the barriers faced to reemployment, and the ways by which women overcame the barriers to reemployment, and compares these experiences to the experiences of men. The data gathered from a convenience sample of 10 women between the ages of 56 and 74 provided in-depth descriptions of participant experiences following job loss. The findings indicated that women and men view and cope with job loss differently. Further studies could lead organizational leaders and policy makers to a more in-depth understanding of the experiences of women over 50 following job loss and provide guidance when considering strategies to address the unique needs of older workers seeking reemployment.
