Millions of Americans Are Working Past 65 and Reshaping the Meaning of Retirement
Working well into your 60s, 70s, and even 80s isn’t just becoming more common. It’s transforming retirement in America. Nearly one in five adults over 65 now holds a job, a figure that continues to climb, according to a Pew Research Center analysis. This shift marks a dramatic departure from recent decades. The Pew analysis shows that in 1987, only 11% of Americans 65 and older were employed.
