Work ‘till Death

A new study in America has found that more Americans expect to work ‘till death. CNN Money published an article today that shows some alarming trends that can and will impact every major economy where credit and debt are rising, including the UK.

Twelve per cent of people feel they won’t be able to retire at all. This is an increase of 171 per cent since 2000 in the number of people that feel that retire is out of the grasp completely.

In 2000 42 per cent of workers felt they would work part-time and pursue other interests. Today that number has fallen to only 27 per cent of workers that feel they will be able to reduce working hours.
