``50 Plus!'' by Robert L. Dilenschneider (Citadel Press, $25)
A generation or two ago, an over-50 worker was considered to be in the twilight years of his career, easing toward a forced retirement at 65.
Now the average age of the working adult rises each year, and in 20 years, more than one-third of all workers could be 50 or older.
Robert L. Dilenschneider's book addresses some of the concerns of those workers, including age discrimination and the struggle to stay competitive in a marketplace where young adults are itching to take their jobs away.
A good part of the book is devoted to people who are looking for a second and even third chance in the work force.
