Everything except traffic
I am not completely sure that it is, but it does appear to be just because I see many seniors working in food, fast food, and department stores. I do recall that it became more and more difficult for me to find a job in the public schools as I approached my 60's. So, I would say that Fort Worth is more age friendly than not.
