Have You Reached 80 and Are Still Employed? We Want to Hear Your Story!

Business Insider is seeking insights from those who continue working into their eighth decade and beyond. If you're 80 years or older, we want to understand your work experience, the nature of your job, and your reasons for staying in the workforce.

We've conducted interviews with numerous seasoned professionals in their 80s, 90s, and even those over 100, spanning various financial backgrounds. Some individuals continue working for economic necessity, while others do so to remain active and maintain a sense of purpose. These narratives will form a series that examines what employment looks like for people within this senior age category.

Among the workforce, this older demographic is expanding the fastest. Predictions indicate that participation rates among younger workers will decline over the next decade, whereas older employees will increasingly contribute to the labor market.

To date, we've highlighted the experiences of nonagenarians who are in excellent health and still participating in the workforce. We've also chronicled octogenarians who supplement their Social Security benefits with additional income.

Our stories have delved into personal accounts such as an 84-year-old navigating the Uber driver landscape, an 87-year-old employed by a county aging department after overcoming employment challenges, a spirited 80-year-old handling accounts receivable with minimal savings, and another 80-year-old who has been loyal to her company for over 60 years.

If you are part of this inspiring group, at least 80 years old, residing in the United States, and still working, we invite you to share your journey. Please fill out our brief Google form, and we may reach out to feature your story in our ongoing series.
