Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era when people live longer and want (or need) to work past the traditional retirement age, the Vita Needle Company of Needham, Massachusetts, provides inspiration and important lessons about the value of older workers. Vita Needle is a family-owned factory that was founded in 1932 and makes needles, stainless steel tubing and pipes, and custom fabricated parts. As part of its unusual business model, the company seeks out older workers; the median age of the employees is seventy-four. In Retirement on the Line, Caitrin Lynch explores what this unusual company's commitment to an elderly workforce means for the employer, the workers, the community, and society more generally. Benefiting from nearly five years of fieldwork at Vita Needle, Lynch offers an intimate portrait of the people who work there, a nuanced explanation of the company's hiring practices, and a cogent analysis of how the workers' experiences can inform our understanding of aging and work in the twenty-first century. As an in-depth study of a singular workplace, rooted in the unique insights of an anthropologist who specializes in the world of work, this book provides a sustained focus on values and meanings-with profound consequences for the broader assumptions our society has about aging and employment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A guide for planning that rich season of life, based not just on money, but also on how to create meaningful relationships, memories, and legacy.” —Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love Rock Retirement offers inspirational advice on how to enjoy the journey to retirement to its fullest. Traditional retirement advice usually boils down to saving more, sacrificing more, and settling for less. This approach makes people dependent on systems outside their control, such as the market, economy, and investment returns. The result: people lose power over determining their life. What sets Rock Retirement apart is its holistic approach to helping people take back control and act intentionally towards the life they want. It addresses the fears, hopes, and dreams that people have about retirement, goes way beyond the numbers, and shows them how to balance living well today and tomorrow. “Too many books think retirement is just about finances. Instead, retirement is about looking at life in full and working out what it is you want to do and then turning to finances to make it happen. That’s exactly the focus of the practical and helpful guide.” —Andrew Scott, coauthor of The 100-Year Life “Roger Whitney lays out a plan for today’s modern retiree. If you are exhausted with being fed that retirement is the end game of life, then Roger’s book is a must-read!” —Darryl W. Lyons, author of 18 to 80 “If you’re dreaming of a retirement free of worry, chao and confusion, Rock Retirement will give you the clarity, a solid plan and fresh inspiration to help you get where you want to go.” —Jevonnah “Lady J” Ellison, author of Love Letters for Leading Ladies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sharp examination of the looming financial catastrophe of retirement in America. As millions of Baby Boomers reach their golden years, the state of retirement in America is little short of a disaster. Nearly half the households with people aged 55 and older have no retirement savings at all. The real estate crash wiped out much of the home equity that millions were counting on to support their retirement. And the typical Social Security check covers less than 40% of pre-retirement wages—a number projected to drop to under 28% within two decades. Old-age poverty, a problem we thought was solved by the New Deal, is poised for a resurgence. With dramatic statistics and vivid portraits, acclaimed sociologist Katherine S. Newman shows that the American retirement crisis touches us all, cutting across class lines and generational divides. White-collar managers have seen retirement benefits vanish; Teamsters have had their pensions cut in half; bankrupt cities like Detroit have walked away from their commitments to municipal workers. And for Generation X, the prospects are even worse: a fifth of them expect to never be able to retire. Only the vaunted “one percent” can face retirement without fear. Other countries are confronting similar demographic challenges, yet they have not abandoned their social contract with seniors. Downhill From Here makes it clear that America, too, can—and must—do better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, their retirement savings were obliterated by Wall Street's staggering decline combined with corporate greed, mismanaged retirement plans, and a broken retirement system. This perfect storm has left the next generation of retirees poised for financial chaos. Instead of living out one's golden years relaxing by the pool or traveling the globe, many will find retirement unattainable. For a growing number of Americans it will leave them living at or below the poverty line, barely able to afford basic living essentials. For this ever increasing number of Americans a retirement crisis doesn't just loom on the horizon, it has arrived, and brought with it disastrous implications. It begs the burning question of who wants to work their whole lives only to retire into poverty? Better still, it behooves us to understand how this happened and what we may still be able to do in order to resurrect our retirement plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking book looks at the potentially devastating effects of Baby Boomer retirements, predicts how our country will change, and provides actionable advice to help businesses weather the storm. The Boomer Retirement Time Bomb: How Companies Can Avoid the Fallout from the Coming Skills Shortage is a book for business leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve. A must-read for the 21st-century organization, it lays out challenges posed by a changing workforce and explains why we need to rethink assumptions about work and the workplace. More significantly, it provides practical, real-world strategies, best practices, and tactics for maximizing the opportunities that will accompany the coming demographic shift. Asserting that employers who play their cards right can reap tremendous rewards by tapping into the wisdom, maturity, and judgment of older workers, the book covers such topics as recruiting and (re)training these valuable employees. It looks at increased workplace flexibility and other means of helping retain older workers, and it explores how organizations can treat older workers as assets. Finally, it provides suggestions for developing a workplace that welcomes and accommodates the needs of an intergenerational workforce, providing work-life balance for every employee.
