Seniors Pages - How Can my Boomer Baby Afford to Retire written by Norley Hall statement, so don't make another in this file.
Contingent work provides few employee benefits and usually provides no retirement benefits.
Approximately two million boomers are contingent workers, which makes the retirement picture very indefinite. Boomers approaching retirement age are expressing a desire, even in today's roller-coaster labor market, to do at least some work beyond their retirement age.
