Chris Farrell Discusses An Aging Workforce In The U.S.

It won't be long—projections say it will be less than a decade--before a quarter of the U.S. workforce is made of people who are at least 55 years old.

But are those workers going to want more flexible schedules and are employers willing to make accommodations?

We spoke with Chris Farrell, author of “Unretirement: How Baby Boomers Are Changing The Way We Think About Work, Community And The Good Life.”

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
