| "I think what we're going to see in the future are people reaching 60 and saying, 'I don't want to work as hard as I've been working, but maybe I'd like to work at a lower level. Maybe at 25 hours a week.' I'm encountering a lot of people my age that are thinking that right now. They want more free time and not this, 'You're overqualified for this job,' when it's exactly what the person may want: an entry-level job they can do without stressing themselves out and still make some money. And maybe get healthcare...maybe not." | Central |
| "Employer 1: I have a question. Older generations, somebody who got laid off—and I'm talking late-forties, fifties, sixties, whatever—I mean people are having to work longer and longer.
