RetiredBrains: Important Resources for Boomers and seniors

“Seniors alone account for 78 million people in the US and control more than 83% of consumer spending.”

RetiredBrains.com went up on the net in July of 2003 as a job and information resource for boomers, retirees and people planning their retirement years. The site has become the premier destination for reaching updated content and information on just about every subject of interest to the 45-70 age group and includes thousands of links to sites that provide more in depth information.

The site was founded by Art Koff, a senior in his 70’s, who provides the perspective older Americans are seeking. The functionality is clear and straightforward and set up to provide information as its primary purpose. Art continues to monitor RetiredBrains and contribute content regularly.

“Many employers are finding that hiring older workers provides them with a number of benefits both financially and in terms of productivity” said Art Koff, “The work ethic of older workers is often what sets them apart from their younger counterparts.”

RetiredBrains.com posts thousands of jobs across the U.S., as well as links and contact information for seniors interested in volunteering with nonprofits. The site offers other resources including resume-writing help and information on continuing education. Managers and professionals who have retired are mostly looking for part-time or temporary jobs and these are exactly the kinds of assignments that companies are looking for seniors to fill.
