Adults aged 65 or older are a rapidly expanding segment of the US population, and they are projected to make up approximately 22% of the US workforce by 2022

When data was analyzed from more than 85,000 adults age 65 and older.

The study found that all types of workers reported better mental health, compared with those who were retired or unemployed.
