Growing Old Baby Boomer Style
Hiring older workers just makes sense.
Consider these facts.
- Today’s Boomers are expected to live
longer than any previous generation.
Since 1950, the death rate for heart
disease has dropped by 60 percent and
the death rate for stroke by 70 percent.
- Baby Boomers make up 26 percent of
the population and are aging slower than
previous generations because of healthy
habits such as exercise and not smoking.
- A Towers Perrin study for the American
Association of Retired Persons found
that hiring older workers costs little
while adding unusually motivated and
loyal employees.
- With American women having just over
two children, there won’t be enough
new employees entering the workforce
to keep pace with demand.
