Professionals Over Sixty and On the Job

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Men Still at Work explores the reasons many men are continuing to work well beyond the traditional retirement age. In today's challenging economy, they are the second-fastest growing group of workers (just behind older women). Filled with profiles of older working men, as well as dynamic interview quotes, Men Still at Work explores thorny issues such as masculinity and the "need to provide," as well as economic realities, job satisfaction, and more.
