This is depressing for those that are out of work and even for some of those that are just working to pay the bills but not in their field of study.

I am fortunate enough to be employed currently but the one thing that I noticed when I began my first job out of college was that there were a lot of old people still working. I'm not talking just older people, I mean people that are well past retirement age. I don't know those people's situation so they may be working because they have to.

You sound like you work at my company.

I heard from a couple of the old timers is a lot of it has to do with healthcare.

Add the high cost of living to the low rate of savings. Yep, you are working for a while.
