Briefly

Thousands of older Americans plan to unretire in 2026. For many, a permanent retirement may be impossible.
"More older Americans are returning to work due to financial insecurity and rising costs. Surveys show many retirees fear their savings won't last through retirement. Experts have called for stronger support and flexible job opportunities for older workers. It may be increasingly common next year to see an older worker staffing the cash register at your local grocery store. Surveys released in recent months suggest that older Americans are more worried about having to unretire, fearing their savings won't last them 20 to 30 years."
"US Bank's 2025 Wealth Report, released in September, shows that nearly two-thirds of Americans worry they may have to reenter the workforce, while 58% of people believe their money will last them in their retirement years. This is echoed by ResumeBuilder.com's survey of 3,574 Americans aged 65 and older, released last week. The survey reveals that nearly one in eight plan to rejoin the workforce in 2026 or already have."
