Vermont Retirement a Luxury?
Many Vermonters can't afford to retire, with rising living costs and stagnant wages forcing them to work longer vtdigger.org.
Many older Vermonters are delaying retirement or returning to work due to financial pressures, impacting workforce dynamics and potentially limiting opportunities for younger workers.
