FYI: Close to one in five Americans who’s 65 or older is still working, the highest percentage in more than half a century. And the one who’s still working might be better off.
As more and more Americans delay retirement, it’s those with a college degree who find it easiest to keep working past 65. Their less-educated peers, meanwhile, are having a more difficult time staying in the workforce.
It’s a crucial distinction because financial experts say both groups would benefit from working an extra year or more to improve their retirement security. By staying on the job, older Americans can build up their savings, which in too many cases are inadequate. Plus, they can allow bigger Social Security benefits to accrue. Besides, many older Americans like the idea of staying engaged by working.
