We are an aging population. A aging population that really did not save enough money for our retirement.
So, it’s not entirely surprising in Vermont, where about 26% of residents 65 and older are still working—the highest share in the U.S. The state is at the forefront of a national trend: as birth rates decline and the country ages, older people are staying in the workforce longer. Today, about 19% of people 65 and older in the U.S. are still working, up from 10% four decades ago.
What are your plans for retirement, I expect to keep working for a decade longer or so.
