AARP Longevity Economy Outlook

What it is

AARP's Longevity Economy Outlook series measures how Americans 50 and older contribute to the U.S. economy, including their spending, jobs supported, tax payments, and unpaid caregiving and charitable contributions. The reports include projections through 2060 and key findings for employers and policymakers.

Why I recommend it

Useful for seeing the scale of older workers and consumers in the labor market — a counterweight to coverage that treats workers over 50 as an afterthought.
