No it isn't. That wave should have already hit. The 2010's called and they want their news item back. The real story is why aren't they retiring?
(Because they don't have a retirement)
I think boomers that have high paying and powerful jobs are working longer than ever because they want to. The other side of the boomer wealth inequality, yes, those ones have to.
In fact, every time I have seen a thread on the topic of boomers working past retirement because they can't afford to retire on Lemmy so far, someone chimes in about how they're in their late 60s and love their job as a [something rarely unpleasant], so they want to keep working.
As if that's the same as someone in their 70s working the fryer at Burger King.
I mean, anyone got some data to reference to look at so we can clear the air?
I'm 46. When I was in high school we were told "pursue teaching or healthcare because everyone doing it now will be retired".
I didn't pursue either thank god because
I went into aviation. I've heard that "all the pilots that joined the airlines after 'Nam are gonna retire en masse any minute now and we'll never find enough pilots" lie for 20 years now, and the next mouth I hear that lie come out of is going to rapidly break into small, wet pieces.
Don’t you need verified degrees and licenses to do those jobs? I would imagine immigrants picking oranges, never seen one bedside at a hospital or in a child’s school.
Using healthcare in Canada they are often African or Filipino and they aren't hired as nurses because nurses are expensive. We have all new titles at cheaper wages for them.
What teachers do you know aren't retiring once they qualify for their full pension?
Most folks in that profession are in the GTFO stage.
I'm in Canada so it's a bit different. Teachers are not noping the fuck out here at the same click as the US for a multitude of reasons.
I think the point is that we are coming up on the moment when those retirees who didn't retire in the 2010's, because they had no money to retire with and can't live on the joke salary of what social security has become, are all about to be forced by nature and an employment structure that's is hungry for younger talent to actually retire. And we have no infrastructure to handle that.
