More baby boomers expect to postpone retirement due to their financial situation, according to MetLife's 12th Annual U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study. Five years after the recession and employee financial concerns remain high.
Workers are concerned about the cost and availability of health insurance coverage, a fear of losing their jobs or that company benefits will be cut. Older workers who are getting ready to retire have increased worries they won't be financially ready to retire. Many plan to keep working as long as possible.
Forty-one percent of young boomers and 39 percent of older boomers said they plan to postpone retirement due to their financial situation, compared to 39 percent of younger boomers and 33 percent of older boomers in 2012.
