Aging Matters - Aging & The Workplace

It is estimated that 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day in the United States-a trend that will continue for the next decade. Experts project that by 2020, there will be more Americans over the age of 65 than children under the age of five, an unprecedented milestone in the history of our country. The aging of America’s population will impact every aspect of our lives, including our professional careers. AGING MATTERS: AGE & THE WORKPLACE explores what the workforce of tomorrow will look like and what employers need to do now to adapt and prepare for the future. Hosted by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Kathy Mattea, the 30-minute program shows industries facing labor and knowledge shortages and also profiles seniors who are still doing remarkable (and surprising) work.
