A record number of workers of pensionable age are still in jobs,
as older people try to make ends meet in the face of shrinking
pensions
Government figures released yesterday showed that 11 per cent of
those over the official retirement ages of 65 for men and 60 for
women are still in employment.
The figures showed that 1.2 million people of pensionable age
are still working, a 7.8 per cent increase on last year.
