FINDING FULFILLMENT IN YOUR GOLDEN YEARS Why More Adults Over 55 Continue to Work
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, upward of 40% of people aged 55 and older are continuing to work
• Tax preparers • Construction/building inspectors • Crossing guards • Clergy
past the standard retirement age. There are a number of reasons why people
are choosing to stay employed, with one of the biggest being a lack of retirement funds, but some are also using work to keep their minds and skills sharp. In fact, most of the jobs that the 55-plus crowd goes after keep them engaged with the community and help them lead more active lives. The BLS categorized the jobs many older workers are currently pursuing: • Real estate appraisers/assessors • Property/real estate/community association managers • Technical writers Would you like to be a Campbell Wealth Management Ambassador?
These seven jobs are projected to grow between 8–14% over the next six years according to BLS data. They often pay well and don’t always require a full-time commitment. Many even offer flexible schedules, which can help older workers spend more time with peers or loved ones. This balance is exactly what many older workers are looking for, especially those who are “part-time retired.” More importantly, however, most older workers find these jobs fulfilling. They allow older folks to interact with the community and stay active, both of which, research suggests, are essential to healthy living as people age. For many, working past retirement, or not leaving the workforce entirely, can be a win-win-win: It’s a win for your bank account, a win for your health, and a win for the community. Upcoming Events
