A study by the Urban Institute, “Will Employers Want Aging Boomers?” says the jobs are going to be out there, but employers want brains more than brawn.

One of the byproducts of baby boomers being healthier as a group than their parents — and some fear healthier than their children — is they’re going to live longer and be in better shape. That means they’re going to keep working, maybe decades longer than the 55 or 60. And that includes some people retiring and starting a new careers.

Not to worry, says the study. Jobs that require education,  experience, maturity will want you. The study says the jobs will be there for personal financial advisors, veterinarians, social and community service managers, surveyors, environmental scientists and geoscientists, registered nurses, postsecondary teachers, archivists and curators, social workers, management analysts, pharmacists, counselors,  business operation specialists and a bunch more.

However, don’t fear if a lot of college isn’t in your past. The fastest-growing area friendly to senior workers, says the study, is personal and home care aides, usherers, animal trainers, locksmiths, and brokerage clerks.

And, says the study, the occupations are looking at at least 20 percent growth by 2016, double the 10 percent rate forecast for the national labor force. 

About 77 million baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. And most of them are still around.
