Working Past 65? More Likely in This Area of Country
Bob Dylan's 70 and he's still working. Are you?
It might be due to the economy--or it might just be that people around here are such die-hard workaholics.
New data shows that the Washington, D.C., region is a leader nationally in the number of people older than 65 who are working, or are looking for work.
A total of one in five people in that age group are still in the workforce, according to The Washington Post, a rate high above the national average.
