Time With Sands – Grand Return

I’m in my 70s and I’m still working. I love keeping busy and I have many friends that feel the same! My family doesn’t understand and has expressed that they want me to retire. How can I communicate that this is what more older adults are doing?

I’m right there with you and that’s what my Ageless Way work is about! More and more older adults are staying in the workforce. And now as I predicted, the “Grand Return” of older workers and contractors is just visible…and both are thriving. 

Kerry Fern posted an article this week about this:

With one in every seven Americans now over age 70, workers age 75 and up have quietly become the fastest-growing labor demographic. And their participation in the workforce is expected to increase by 96 percent this decade. (By contrast, the participation of workers age 16 to 24 will shrink by 7.5 percent.)

This is the future of work: no age limits and intergenerational workforces. Tell your family the facts and express your love for what you do. 

We’re an aging population; we’re also a productive one.
