Temp and Part Time Jobs for Retirees

3/18/2017

2 Comments

 
Working in Retirement should be fun and enjoyable
It is no secret that temporary and part time jobs for retirees are becoming  a normal part of the retirement process. Although some people view retirement as a time to solely embark on leisurely pursuits, others feel the urge to either remain professionally active to some degree--or, in the case of retirees with no previous official employment experience, join the workforce for the first time. There are many reasons retirees decide to pursue temporary and part time jobs. Some of these include:
  • Supplementing retirement income to pay essential bills
  • Social interaction
  • Saving for vacations, family events or other leisurely pursuits
  • Keeping mentally sharp and physically fit
No matter your reasons for wanting to find temporary and part time jobs, it is important to know that you have more options than ever before when it comes to landing the perfect retirement job.

Why Retired Workers are in Demand

More and more are opting to turn to workers with a more mature, loyal outlook on employment. Some of the reasons employers are gravitating toward retired workers to fill temporary and part time job positions include:
  • Low rates of absenteeism
  • Low likelihood to change jobs, which means higher job loyalty
  • Open minded to learning new skills
  • Punctuality and welcoming of responsibility
  • Willing to engage with customers sincerely
  • A positive attitude and pride in the job being done
This shift in attitude is plainly seen in the steady increase of retired workers in the job force. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBLS), retired workers currently comprise over 8% of the workforce. This number is expected to increase to 11% by 2022. Additionally, recent data from the USBLS shows that as life expectancy continues to increase, so does the amount of older retired workers in the workforce. Specifically, since 1985, the number of retired workers over the age of 75 has more than doubled from 3.6% to 8% currently.

Why Temporary and Part Time Retirement Jobs?

Although some retirees decide to continue working a full time career into their retirement years, we feel this is a decision best left to your individual needs and situation. There is something to be said for allowing yourself to enjoy your retirement as you see fit. The responsibility and, many times, stress accompanying full time career occupations can become more difficult to successfully manage as we age. However, the job can accentuate and compliment your leisure time, and not take away from them in any regard.

Many temporary and part time retirement jobs allow you the freedom to make your own schedule, as well as the other benefits of employment we have discussed already. What is more, many temporary and part time retirement jobs allow you to help other people in various capacities, which is always a wonderfully effective way to be involved and feel great doing it!

You might be asking yourself how you can go about finding jobs that allow you to choose your own schedule, and provide you the opportunity to embark on employment that compliments your retirement living? Well, let’s discuss that right now. ​
