If you're interested in retiring soon ,or just planning the future of your job, your career advancement or job search is about to be impacted by the Boomers.
Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age in record numbers. And this will affect your current job or your retirement plans.
For example, thanks to improved health care and lifestyle changes, many Boomers will continue to work well past retirement age.
If you are still years away from retirement, this fact will make a difference to your ability to advance your career. The competition just became much tougher. Many employers see a positive impact to their bottom line by retaining long-term, experienced workers.
If you are planning ahead for retirement, you have just been handed another option. This could mean staying right where you are until you're ready to stop. Or working part-time. Or coming back as a consultant or other contract employee.
At the same time it's important to realize that in creased burdens will be placed on the already stressed Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid systems. Employers will have to become very creative to come up with innovative benefits and compensation strategies.
What's more, when Boomers do finally decide to retire, employers will have a difficult time finding skilled, experienced employees from a smaller pool of available workers.
So whether a retirement decision is imminent or you're dead serious about getting ahead in your career, the secret to your success is to plan ahead. That means staying informed about the constantly evolving job and career marketplace.
