Is 'UnRetirement' in Your Future?

Have you heard of 'UnRetirement?'

Lots of folks are unretiring, returning to the workforce after retirement — 40% of workers over 65 have previously been retired.

And, more than half of retirees 50 and older say they would return to work for the right opportunity — the percentage is even higher among the college-educated.

Why?

Because golf games and palm trees aren't always what they're cracked up to be. Retirement can simply be less satisfying than expected.

Although extra income is often needed by those in retirement -- money, it turns out, is NOT THE PRIMARY DRIVER for most people who decide to go back to work. It’s the 'softer' issues which drive most people back into the workplace.

After a while, some retirees sorely long for --

  • a sense of purpose and fulfillment
  • opportunities to use their brain
  • workplace friends & social engagement

Besides all these benefits, some studies also show that working with purpose will add more years to your life.

And, the job opportunities for mature, seasoned, responsible employees are booming!

If paid employment interests you, just search for "retiree" positions at www.indeed.com.

If a volunteer role is more to your liking, www.volunteermatch.org offers some amazing, fun and fulfilling opportunities to be of service.
