Abstract
In one of the best labor markets in decades, millions of older Americans work in precarious or part-time jobs with low wages and no benefits, or cannot find employment. Many older workers have limited savings or pensions and must work to supplement Social Security payments. Findings from a Rutgers University-Heldrich Center for Workforce Development survey of voluntary and involuntary part-time older workers and a survey of older, long-term unemployed individuals in the Center's New Start Career Network program reveal policies that would help older workers.
