("at a Brooks Brothers plant in Long Island City, NY * * * Brooks Brothers considers senior employees such as Yeje worth the extra cost. Though the factory’s 222 employees range in age from 22 to 80, more than half are 55 or older. The average tenure is 30 years [in other words, they are experienced seamstresses, not new hires]. The plant is an example of age diversity * * * Almost 20 percent of Americans 65 or older were employed last year, up from 12 percent a decade ago. More seniors are keeping their jobs beyond traditional retirement age, because they want to continue working and often need the income. At the same time, manufacturers, retailers, and even legacy technology companies are rediscovering the value of older, more seasoned workers and are taking steps to keep them")

Note: "I got an MRS. He was a typical Irishman: good sense of humor, hard worker."

MRS is all upper case, to mimic a master's degree such as MBA. In fact, this MRS is "Mrs" --meaning getting married and becoming a wife (taking on the title accordingly).
