Fewer than 19% of the over-65s are working today. In late 2019, that was above 20%.
The booming jobs market and great worker shortage is bringing senior citizens out of retirement to take advantage of all the great opportunities, right?“A rising share of adults 65 and older are working,” reports MagnifyMoney, after crunching numbers provided by the U.S. Census. It adds: “In late April and early May 2020, 19.5% of Americans 65 and older were working. That figure jumped more than 2 percentage points in late April and early May 2022 to 21.9%.
Meanwhile many older workers may have good reasons to want to continue working. Many will have been pushed out by their ageist employers at a time when the employers had many more options when it came to finding new hires. Many senior citizens are also struggling to square the circle of retirement finance. How do you ensure you don’t outlive your money if you may live 30 or 40 years? The quickest answer is to keep working.
But as ever with a popular story we need to ask questions. After the latest survey dropped I checked the numbers at the U.S. Labor Department. Yes, the numbers of working senior citizens has risen since the depths of the pandemic, says the Labor Department. But you’d expect that: Many were laid off, or quit to avoid a disease that was mainly deadly to their demographic.
