A historic inflation spike is easing, but there’s a powerful force that’s likely to keep wage and price increases higher than normal over the next few years: baby boomer retirements. A record 4.1 million Americans are set to turn 65 this year and each year through 2027, according to the Alliance for Lifetime Income’s Retirement Income Institute. Although not all of those #boomers will hang it up, the surge of freshly minted 65-year-olds – known as "peak 65" – probably will mean record #retirements as well. Paul Davidson has more on how baby boomers retiring affects the economy: https://lnkd.in/eR-cGxNC
A retirement surge is here. These industries will be hit hardest.

WASHINGTON - Francesca Hagadus, a self-described “Hillary girl,” woke up crying the morning after Election Day 2016. She was exhausted and demoralized from what had happened just hours earlier while watching alongside some 300 other Hillary Clinton supporters assembled at Crabtree’s Kittle House in the New York hamlet of Chappaqua where the Democratic presidential nominee and her husband moved after leaving the White House. The group of neighbors and friends had gathered for the election results over a meal of roast beef, chicken and salmon paired with wine and champagne, anticipating like so many in America that Donald Trump would be getting nowhere close to the Oval Office. "By 11 p.m., it was just the waiters and a few of us from Chappaqua Friends of Hillary," Hagadus recalled in an interview with USA TODAY. "No one was saying anything. We were just staring at each other.” For many former Clinton supporters, Harris’ impending nomination as the Democratic candidate for president feels like déjà vu. They remember the morning after the election. But they also say that this time they're better prepared for the campaign ahead. https://lnkd.in/ebYqK4sD
Lessons from Hillary: Harris campaign faces a familiar playbook versus Trump
