<p>As the retirement age continues to increase, it&#8217;s not surprising that many people are working past age 65. For some the reason may be a need to stay active and intellectually stimulated, but for many the reasons are financial. Retirement savings took a huge hit during the financial crisis and employees are still trying to recoup their losses. In addition, the <a href="https://www.collegecareerlife.net/learn-from-trecession/">Great Recession</a> caused many businesses to put promotions and salary increases on hold. Layoffs were also common in many industries. This has had a lasting impact on the earning potential of workers that are now reaching retirement age.</p>
