I don't think it is a baby boomer thing necessarily.
Maybe not completely but I think that a larger percentage of the Baby Boomer population will be working past 65 than previous generations, my dad is 60 right now he lost his job last February but is still looking for a new job almost daily and he has no immediate plans to retire in the near future.
Thanks for this!
