AARP report disputes 'boomer myths'
Jennifer Harper
Washington Times
Apr. 16, 2008

Overview: “Baby boomers are not a bunch of annoying, self-absorbed, aging hippies with too much money and a penchant to call attention to themselves. Really. So says a report released yesterday by AARP meant to dispel persistent ‘boomer myths’ about the 77 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964.”

For baby boomers, retirement may just mean a new job
M.S. Enkoji
Times Free Press
Apr. 17, 2008

Overview: "Either by choice or necessity, many boomers intend to work beyond traditional retirement, employment services say. Proposed federal laws that could shore up health coverage and a U.S. Senate hearing this month will focus new attention on older workers. Employee incentives such as flexible schedules, and a lot of buzz, are creating an inviting atmosphere for longer work lives."
