Over Half of Baby Boomers Plan to Work Past Traditional Retirement Age

A recent survey by Robert Half survey found that 54% of baby boomer respondents plan on working past tradtional retirement age. 

A major reason given for planning to work past traditional retirement age is the impact of the recent recession.  Key quote from the survey results:

Among professionals who plan to work past the traditional retirement age, strong majorities in all generations cited the past recession as an important factor in their decision. 

The survey covers generational attitudes in the workplace and looks at Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y.

Also, they have multimedia press release on the survey that has charts and videos on their survey.

Could it be that gen Y'ers are more irresponsible or that GenX'ers feel more obligated to support both generations? I think so
