Chris Price--Older Americans Are Working Longer

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that “The number of older Americans in the labor force as a result of the financial crisis was approximately 1.6 million workers.” And, that “The financial crisis has been hard on just about everyone. But for older folks, the pain is proving particularly deep and lasting — a problem that could put a drag on the economy for many years to come.”

“People approaching retirement age are suffering on all fronts. Even with the Dow above 11,000, their stock holdings are worth less than they were back in 2006. Fixed-income investments hardly provide any income. Home prices remain depressed.”

Chris Price…Shurwest Financial Group’s Director of Broker Dealer Relations says expert retirement planning advice can help people still attain their financial goals and retire comfortably.
