Monkey's career on hold, prospects for 2017??

My 60 year old husband was born November 13, 1956 at 8:00pm, year of the monkey. Last July, he was laid off from his job after 30 years at the same company. He has been struggling to find a permanent job since and we think it's due to his age. It didn't help that 2016 was not an auspicious year for monkeys. With college bound children in the coming years, we are getting nervous. We would like to know his job prospects, finance and health for the near future and 2017.
