This week, Assisting Hands in West Austin was thrilled to participate in the AustinUp 50+ Job Fair, held on April 6th at Affinity in Wells Branch.
The 2010 U.S. Census showed that the Austin area had the nation’s fastest-growing population of people between 55 and 64, and the second fastest-growing population of people 65 and over. This includes many older adults who are now seeking employment due to layoffs during COVID.
