When the calendar turned to January 1, 2011, the first wave of “baby boomers” turned 65 years old. This is the normal retirement age. Today due to the nature of the economy they are not retiring. More and more want or need to stay in the workforce. Ten thousand baby boomers will turn age 65 every day for the next 17 years. Even with the desire to stay at work so strong, baby boomers are exiting the workforce in large numbers. Layoffs, changing technologies, and workplace biases have a larger effect on this group than any other. Existing legislation in the U.S. provides workers over the age of 40 protection from workplace biases. Failure to do so exposes companies to age-based lawsuits. Another piece of legislation requires employers to inform employees of statistics involved with layoffs which also opens the door for aged-based lawsuits. So terminating baby boomer employers, if done incorrectly, can be an expensive learning experience.
