  While looking for work in an economic downturn can be challenging, it's easier today than it used to be - and that may hold truest of all for the retirement set. Those who are in or near retirement and looking for work can find abundant online resources aimed at them, which may prove invaluable as the ongoing financial crisis drives many back to the workplace or keeps them there longer. Many in fact steer clear of mainstream job-search Web sites such as CareerBuilder and Monster because they think their chances are better when their "maturity" is specifically targeted, according to Scott Wingerter, chief operating officer for RetireeWorkforce.com, a job board for retired workers. "Mature workers won't generally apply for positions (advertised) for the general population - they fear age discrimination," he said. "So they come to boards like ours."
