Workers

Indpendent -   America’s workforce is getting older as financial pressures of retirement keep workers in their jobs longer.  Some 23.2 percent of U.S. workers are older than 55, increasing by 17.3 percent over the last decade, according to an analysis by online careers development platform MyPerfectResume. Older workers’ growth rate outpaced the total workforce’s 11.3 percent increase.

“Employment has grown steadily over the past decade,” the study said. “But the more important shift isn’t just how many people are working; it’s who’s working and how old they are.”
