Bi Sasquatch<p>Source: Worklife</p><p>From the article: &quot;With people aged 75 and older projected to be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. workforce, HR leaders face an urgent challenge: adapting workplaces to accommodate older employees working past the traditional retirement age.</p><p>“As our workforce ages, employers must shift their mindset to view accommodations for older workers not as an added burden but as an opportunity to enhance productivity, retain talent and foster an inclusive workplace,” said Brandy Burch, CEO at Benefitbay, a benefits solutions provider.</p><p>&quot;The demographic shift is already well underway. The average age of workers in the U.S. is 42, with some industries skewing even older.

Bi Sasquatch<p>Source: AARP</p><p>From the article: &quot;The Social Security Amendments of 1972 created a special minimum benefit to protect low-earning seniors against poverty in old age by giving them a higher benefit than they would receive through the regular Social Security benefit formula. But the minimum benefit has failed to reach many poor beneficiaries due to design limitations. In fact, no new retirees have become eligible for it since 1998.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/SocialSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SocialSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Elderly" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elderly</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/OlderAdults" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OlderAdults</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeniorCitizens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeniorCitizens</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FinancialSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FinancialSecurity</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/work-finances-retirement/social-security/new-social-security-minimum-benefit-help-seniors/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aarp.org/pri/topics/work-finan</span><span class="invisible">ces-retirement/social-security/new-social-security-minimum-benefit-help-seniors/</span></a></p>
Bi Sasquatch<p>Source: AARP</p><p>From the artricle: &quot;In the United States, about 2.7 percent of adults 50 to 64 and about 1.8 percent of those over 65 identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, according to a review of research and U.S. Census data by the UCLA School of Law. Compared to older adults who do not identify as LGBTQ+, the research finds they are more likely to live alone or to be single, to be financially insecure and to struggle with physical or mental health. Members of the LGBTQ+ community also are less likely to have children who might help care for them as they age.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Elderly" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Elderly</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/OlderAdults" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OlderAdults</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeniorCitizens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeniorCitizens</span></a> <br /><a href="https://c.im/tags/Pride" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pride</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AcceptanceMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AcceptanceMatters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LGBTQIAPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQIAPlus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lesbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lesbian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bisexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bisexual</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Queer</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Intersex" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Intersex</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Asexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Asexual</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aarp.org/home-family/friends-family/info-2024/lgbtq-communities-senior-centers.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aarp.org/home-family/friends-f</span><span class="invisible">amily/info-2024/lgbtq-communities-senior-centers.html</span></a></p>
