It has been revealed by broadcaster watchdog Ofcom that pensioners are spending more time online than any other group of users. The report revealed that the over 50’s now account for 30% of all time spent online. It showed that those aged 65 and over spent an average of 42 hours per month on line compared to 37.9 hours among those aged 18-24 years old.
Figures reveal that the internet saw an increase of 158% in average daily use between 2002 and 2006. The increase in internet use is reflected in advertising spend; online advertising revenue increased by 47% from 2005 to 2006, to exceed £2bn. So clearly the place to advertise jobs and search for part-time and temp work is online.
