Retirement Wave
A recent surge in stock market performance is reportedly driving a wave of retirements, particularly among mid-to-late career workers, according to economists.
This phenomenon, dubbed a 'retirement party,' is said to be fueled by the stock boom, with the US labor force participation rate for Americans 55 and older falling below 38%.
