Problem:
According to our readings, older workers who have achieved life milestones have different career goals and motivations than young people. Which of the following is NOT true about these older workers? Purpose and meaningful work are crucial motivations for most older workers. In one study of almost 3000 participants, around 60% of non-working Americans in their late 60s or 70s said they'd be willing to return to work if they had flexible schedules -- and about a fifth of them would take a 20+% cut in wages for that flexibility. High pay and matching 401(k) funds are still more important than benefits like unpaid sabbaticals, home grocery delivery and robots to assist in physically demanding jobs. Less stress, more time to process, create and mentor become priorities.
