Jobs for retirees

Many older workers move into a new job before retiring. The position might pay less than they earned at the financial peak of their career, but can be personally fulfilling and provide opportunities to socialize or help others. Landing a new job in your 60s or later can be a challenge, but there are a few industries and occupations that tend to employ older workers. Here are some of the most common occupations for college graduates who are newly hired at age 62 or older, according to an Urban Institute analysis of Health and Retirement Study data.
