Workers compensation claims by an 'elderly' workforce could be on the rise over the next couple of years. Different from years gone by is the fact that many of the 'almost' retired workforce has had their retirement funds and life savings in the stock market and other risky investimates that have tanked with the downtrodden economy. What does this mean for you? It means that you will be competing with a more experienced work force that has decide not to retire at a traditional retirement age.
According to a U.S. Census Bureau survey released in August about characteristics of older workers in Oklahoma in 2004, 21.1 percent to 22.2 percent of Oklahoma County's workers were 45 to 54 years old; 8.8 percent to 10.3 percent were 54 to 64 years old; and 3.3 percent to 4 percent were 65 years old or older.
