According to a study from Seniorly, Washington has emerged as the best state for workers aged 65 and older, with a workforce participation expected to grow significantly in the coming decade. While many seniors continue to work due to financial necessity, others do so for personal fulfillment and social interaction. Factors influencing this ranking include low age-related discrimination, high senior household income, and favorable remote work opportunities. In contrast, Mississippi ranks the lowest, struggling with age discrimination and a low participation rate among older adults.
Washington stands out as the best state for older workers, reflecting a growing trend of seniors choosing to work longer for various reasons beyond financial necessity.
The study emphasizes that older adults are increasingly remaining in the workforce for personal fulfillment and social connections, not purely out of economic need.
