      Where are these retirement age people finding jobs? The unemployed over 50s I know can’t find any work no matter how many jobs they apply for.

    2. At least they got a chance to retire for a bit, back into the cogs they go.

      Seriously though, this is like a glimpse into our futures, minus the temporary retirement part.

    3. Good. They fucked up the economy, good if they feel some of the pain from it.

      >While some have returned or are considering returning to work for social reasons, such as feeling disconnected from other people when not working, financial pressures are also triggers for finding a job again, the survey found.

      So a bit of a nothing story really.

      My dad retired a few years ago and honestly found retiring just incredibly boring, to the point where he decided to go back and do some freelance consulting / odd-jobbing just to keep his mind occupied.

      And I think it’s well-known that companies like B&Q and Wickes have often employed retied tradies on part-time roles for similar reasons – these guys are so used to being busy, and the companies get a lot of product knowledge / experience that they usually don’t get from typical retail candidates.

    5. If you had a speciality then you might be able to find work contracting. I work in the UK food industry and I know colleagues who’ve retired go back on short term contracts to help with things like audit preparation etc

    6. Hold on, I thought all pensioners were rolling in cash and had never had to struggle in their lives? Isn’t that the prevailing view here?
