225 Best Jobs for Baby Boomers
by Michael Farr
Nearly 80 percent of today's 76 million baby boomers plan to keep working in their next stage of life, according to a recent Merrill Lynch survey. In addition, an astounding 56 percent of baby boomers want new careers. This new book helps the economy's largest population group uncover their best job options, including new or better careers, part-time work, more-interesting work, self-employment, careers that consider age-sensitive abilities, good-paying jobs that use their skills, and more.
This helpful resource features 75 best jobs lists for baby boomers based on three age groups, age-sensitive abilities, earnings, growth, number of openings, education and training, interests, personality type, and gender. Plus, 225 brief job descriptions are packed with current labor market information on wages, growth, tasks and responsibilities, skills needed, education required, and work environments.
Other special features: An eye-opening narrative helps baby boomers make good career decisions by discussing baby boomers' role in the workforce, career transitions, the factors that constitute a good job at this point in baby boomers' lives, and other details.
A larger typeface makes this book easy to read.
The authors have taken massive data from the Department of Labor's Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database and other sources and turned it into another great book in JIST's Best Jobs series.
