Forum on Aging. Think
your business does not need to consider America's aging population?
Think again. Consumers over age 50 control more than 77% of all financial
assets and 80% of the money in savings and loans. Additionally, 70%
of baby boomers plan to continue working part-time after retirement.
Is your business ready for this? Check out the Business Forum on Aging.
