30 Shocking Retirement Facts to Help You Prepare Your Nest Egg

April 21, 2020 · Saving & Spending

2. Older People Value Older Workers

One thing that keeps many seniors up at night is the thought of getting laid off before retirement. That’s partly because finding a job as you age might be more difficult.

But is that really true? Well, it depends on who you ask. 51% of baby boomers say that they value older workers more since they claim they are better at solving problems and have more experience. On the other hand, only 22% of millennials share the same opinion.

So if you’re worried about the possibility of losing your job before you retire, keep that in mind so you’ll know where to look for a new position.
