USA Today (6/19, Picchi) reports that, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute, “older workers are less likely than younger ones to have jobs that can be done remotely.” However, they also “may be at higher risk of complications from the coronavirus due to their higher rate of chronic health issues.” Advocates for older adults “worry that employers will use the pandemic as an excuse to lay off older employees.” Data show “the unemployment rate for workers over 65 has more than tripled” and there has been “a 7 percentage point increase in the number of Americans claiming they were retired,” suggesting “that some older workers are taking earlier retirement due to COVID-19.” AARP Vice President of Financial Resilience Susan.
