A growing number of boomers are staying on the job or returning to work in their 60s and 70s as retirement feels less attractive.
That shift is pulling older workers back into the labor force even after they had already retired, reshaping late-career decisions for a generation once expected to leave work behind.
Companies and workers still face challenges in making that return work, highlighting frictions around employing and managing an older workforce.
The trend points to a broader rethink of retirement, with later-life work becoming a more common part of aging for many Americans.
