There has been a trend among younger workers called "Quietly Quitting" where they do the least amount of work required for their job.  But a new trend is emerging called "Quietly Returning" where older workers that were retired are "unretiring".  This gives both employers and older workers big advantages.  Older workers want part time, flexibility, routine, and socializing.  Employers can fill open positions with people that have years of varied experience.

Key takeaways:

  • More than 60% of those who unretire say they are looking for something to do
  • More than 50% are happy with their decision
  • While it can be intimidating, these workers are trailblazers
  • Retirement no longer an exit, but a mile market
