It's a safe bet that most seniors here in Florida who aren't working (at least the guys, anyway) are either at a bar, playing golf or asleep on the couch with the TV on Fox news. That being said, for a growing share of Americans, retirement no longer starts at 65.
This map shows where people aged 65 and older are still working across U.S. states, based on 2024 data from the U.S. Census Bureau via FinanceBuzz. About 22% of Americans 65+ remain in the workforce, but the share climbs to nearly one-third in some states. The gap highlights how cost of living, job availability, and shifting retirement systems are reshaping when - and whether - Americans stop working.
The New England states of Vermont and New Hampshire (both 28.6%) lead the country in the number of seniors still working, followed by South Dakota at 27.6%.
