In the article the results of survey carried among 75 people unemployed over 45 years old were presented. The survey shows that these people tend to have rather low qualifications but are trying to increase their competences and to find a proper job. They are also aware of their advantages like: dutifullness, responsibility, experience and life stabilization. But, on the contrary, when we analize the employers' attidute towards these group of pe ople, it occurs to be full of stereotypes basing on a belief that elderly workers are simply worse than the younger ones.
