New Trends in Retirement Job for Seniors
For Immediate Release – January 7, 2012
Denver, Colorado
The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released an article that discusses seniors that are returning to work after making the life-defining decision to retire. These seniors are defining the term “retirement jobs” and simultaneously creating a unique level of quality in the workforce. Recent data from the Labor Department shows that in the first half of 2010 the number of people over 65 in the labor force was as high as 6.6 million.
Excerpts from article:
Why do seniors and baby boomers want retirement jobs?
People gravitate back to work for various reasons. The most common reasons that seniors give for wanting retirement jobs fall into three basic categories:
Money – Earning supplemental income has been a main driver for getting seniors back to work during retirement or for keeping them at work longer. This helps to stretch out savings accounts, pensions, and Medicare dollars and increase or maintain healthcare benefits.
Love to work – Some people want retirement jobs because they just love to work. Whether it’s because their work is creative and autonomous or because they want to try something new, work is often a source of personal satisfaction.
Social – Seniors who are retired can feel a sense of isolation after leaving an interactive work situation. For most people, an opportunity to regularly interact with others at a retirement job is a natural way to maintain an active social life.
