  • Hundreds of older Americans told BI that ageism, tech changes, and economic shifts have affected their retirement plans.

The article from MSN Money discusses the challenges and strategies of older Americans in navigating today's job market, as highlighted by a survey of over 600 individuals. It explores how ageism, economic shifts, and financial considerations impact their employment prospects. Key points include the prevalence of age discrimination, with many older workers feeling overlooked for jobs due to their age, despite their experience. Economic changes have also forced many to reconsider retirement plans, with some returning to work or seeking new careers due to insufficient savings or unexpected financial needs. The article also touches on the adaptability of older workers, with many engaging in further education, leveraging technology, and exploring gig or part-time work to remain financially stable. Additionally, it notes a shift in mindset where older Americans are increasingly viewing work as a means of staying active, socially connected, and mentally engaged, rather than just a financial necessity.
