"The Rise of the Older Workforce: Working Past Retirement Age"
TL;DR
More Americans, especially those over 75, are working well past retirement age due to financial struggles, longer life expectancy, and changes in the nature of work. Many older workers face challenges in finding suitable employment, with some experiencing age discrimination. The shift away from traditional pensions and the potential depletion of the Social Security trust fund further exacerbate the situation. As the workforce ages, there is a growing need for workplaces to adapt to the needs of older workers and for investment in retraining and hybrid work models to support the transition to retirement.
