Older Workers Retirement Age
1,467 words

that the U. S. is a wealthy nation and how
technology has improved working productivity, it
is expected that the retirement age should be

in many cases past 70 years old. This employment
status is damaging both to these elders and the
nation as a whole. In one respect, it deprives
these elders of the relaxation that they should
have in the few last ye...

labor, and unfairness. These con...
