Many boomers may be headed to semi-retirement rather than retirement with employers looking to hold onto older employees in the face of the shortage of workers. Consider that two-thirds of boomers say their employers are well prepared to handle when they retire, but also less than half of these people say their company has a successor in place for when they do retire. These findings come from The Harris Poll from a survey commissioned by Express Employment Professionals.

Due to this discrepancy, the concept of semi-retirement could be a solution, in the form of flexibile schedules, consulting work, or reduced hours. A survey reveals that most working adults aged 18 and older would be interested in semi-retirement. But only 21 percent of people surveyed had employers who offer semi-retirement options. However, this number could rise as employers try to manage the through the pandemic labour shortage.
