Americans 65 and older are staying on the job, many in full-time positions, opting to stay employed while delaying the final leg of the American Dream, retirement, according to government statistics.

A new Pew Research Center analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics said, “More older Americans – those ages 65 and older – are working than at any time since the turn of the century, and today’s older workers are spending more time on the job than did their peers in previous years.”
