Can people over 50 or 60 apply for these maintenance & trades jobs?
Yes. Every job here is open to all qualified applicants. In the United States, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects applicants and employees aged 40 and older from age discrimination by employers with 20 or more employees, and many state laws go further.

Among current listings that state their pay, the range is $13.42 to $57.72 an hour (16 listings with hourly pay); $22,584 to $164,301 a year (39 listings with yearly pay). Many listings don't include pay, so ask the employer before you accept an interview.

Do I need a license for handyman work?
It depends on your state and the type of work. Electrical, plumbing and some HVAC work generally require a license, and some states license general contractors for jobs above a certain size. Requirements vary by state, so check with your state licensing agency.
