By Michael Farr and Laurence Shatkin, Ph.D.
Nearly 80 percent of today's 76 million baby boomers plan to keep working in their next stage of life, according to a recent Merrill Lynch survey. In addition, an astounding 56 percent of baby boomers want new careers. This new book helps the economy's largest population group uncover their best job options, including new or better careers, part-time work, more interesting work, self-employment, careers that consider age-sensitive abilities, well-paying jobs that use their skills, and more.
This helpful resource features more than 75 "best jobs" lists for baby boomers based on three age groups, age-sensitive abilities, earnings, growth, number of openings, education and training, interests, personality type, and gender. Plus, 225 brief job descriptions are packed with current labor market information on wages, growth, tasks and responsibilities, skills needed, education required, percent part-time and self-employed, and work environments.
This book contains an eye-opening narrative that helps baby boomers make good career decisions by discussing baby boomers' role in the workforce, how they can make the most of their work experience, career transitions, and other details. An especially beneficial feature is a larger typeface, making this book easy to read. 480 pages. 7.5 x 9.25. Softcover. June 2006.
