钱不够花,美国有三分之二退休人员考虑再就业

许多退休人员,尤其是依靠固定收入维持生计的人们,开始重新考虑自己的选择。

疫情期间,有数以百万计的美国人辞职或退休,这就是所谓的“大辞职浪潮”。但最近有迹象表明,许多人正在重新考虑自己的选择。

约68%在疫情期间退休的上班族现在打算再就业。CNBC的最新调查发现,已离开劳动力队伍但并未退休的劳动者,竟然有94%也希望重回工作岗位。

在这份最新报告发布一年前,美国的辞职和退休人数创下历史记录。美国劳工部(U.S. Labor Department)的数据显示,仅2021年就有4,740万人为寻找更好的工作而辞职。

2020年,疫情导致的裁员迫使许多人退出了劳动力队伍。随着经济复苏,紧张的劳动力市场和对工作态度的变化,刺激数百万人寻找更好的工作机会,或者离开劳动力队伍。

因此,为了吸引宝贵的人才,雇主不得不加薪、提供签约奖金和远程办公选择,而且人手不足也成为全世界企业担心的一个关键问题。

但现在,通胀接近四十年最高点,而且有越来越多人预测即将发生经济衰退,因此许多退休人员,尤其是依靠固定收入维持生计的人们,开始重新考虑自己的选择。

一位受访者表示:“我在同一家公司工作了21年,但因为新冠疫情被裁员。我两周前刚刚参加了面试,希望能够被录用。我很害怕失去自己的房子。”

CNBC的调查发现,33%的退休人员因为健康原因离开劳动力队伍,27%因为对疫情的担忧退休,19%只是单纯不想工作。现在,随着疫情限制逐步取消,而且美国50岁以上人群约有85%已经接种疫苗,因此许多提前退休人员正在重新回到工作岗位。

事实上,美国劳工部的数据显示,预计有150万即将退休人员已经重新回到劳动力队伍,而且55岁及以上劳动者的劳动力参与度,或者该群体正在工作或正在积极找工作的比例,正恢复到疫情之前的水平。

Throughout the pandemic, millions of Americans quit their jobs or retired in what came to be known as the Great Resignation. But recently there have been signs that many are rethinking their choices.

Some 68% of the workers who retired during the pandemic would now consider coming back to work. And a whopping 94% of those who left the workforce but never technically retired would do the same, a new CNBC survey finds.

The fresh outlook from workers comes after a record year for job resignations and retirements in the U.S. In 2021 alone, 47.4 million people left their jobs for greener pastures, data from the U.S. Labor Department shows.

Pandemic-induced layoffs led many to retire from the workforce in 2020. Then, as the economy recovered, a tight labor market and changing attitudes about work spurred millions more to look for better opportunities or leave the workforce altogether.

As a result, employers were forced to increase salaries, offer signing bonuses, and provide remote-work options in order to court valuable talent, and labor shortages became a key concern for businesses nationwide.

Now, though, with inflation at a near four-decade high and predictions of an imminent recession increasing, many retirees, particularly those on a fixed income, are reconsidering their choices.

“I worked for 21 years at the same company when I was laid off due to COVID-19,” one survey respondent said. “I just interviewed two weeks ago and I’m hoping to get hired. I’m scared of losing my home.”

CNBC’s survey found that 33% of retirees left the workforce for health reasons, 27% retired due to COVID-19 concerns, and 19% simply no longer wanted to work. Now, with pandemic restrictions fading, and roughly 85% of Americans over the age of 50 now vaccinated, many early retirees are heading back to work.

In fact, an estimated 1.5 million would-be retirees have already returned to the workforce, according to Labor Department data, and the labor force participation rate for workers aged 55 and over—or the percentage of the population that is working or actively looking for work— is returning to where it was before the pandemic began.

“The bottom line is that older workers have gone back to work,” Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, told the New York Times.
