New In Depth AARP Survey ‘Value of Experience’ Includes Insights on Workers, Employers, Entrepreneurs, Age Bias, and More
Washington, DC - - (August 2, 2018) - - According to a new AARP survey of experienced workers, nearly 9 in 10 work for financial reasons, but approximately 8 in 10 either enjoy or feel useful doing their work. And among those who plan to retire, over 1 in 4 plans to start a business or earn money in some independent way, such as a gig economy job.

(April 30, 2018) - - Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury published the following: Over the past four quarters, real GDP has grown by 2.9 percent, the most rapid pace since early 2015. At nearly nine years old, the current expansion is set to become the second-longest stretch of continuous economic growth in the postwar period.
