  • The results of the research are based on a national survey conducted by Edge Research of veterans with and without disabilities, caregivers of veterans and their employers.
  • Voya Cares®, in collaboration with Easterseals, commissioned Edge Research to conduct a national survey among disabled veterans (n=728) and nondisabled veterans (n=301), caregivers of disabled veterans (n=305), and employers (N=511).

CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Easterseals — one of the nation's leading disability and community services providers — and Voya Cares® — a program of Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) that provides resources, thought leadership and advocacy for disability inclusion — announced today the release of a new research paper, titled Employment Extenders: A (labor) force to be reckoned with. The paper focuses on understanding the mindset of Employment Extenders, the individuals who make up the fastest growing segment of the labor market, and points to ways that employers and service providers can support older workers as they prepare to retire.

Key Points: 
  • Survey findings reveal seemingly contradictory motivations for extending employment, which raise the question about whether Employment Extenders in the U.S. are working longer because they want to or need to.
  • Results also indicate that they do not consider the costs associated with caring for themselves or a loved one in their financial plans for retirement.
  • These are the workers who are most concerned about unexpected expenses in retirement and are concerned about maintaining their current lifestyle.
  • Commissioned by Voya Cares in collaboration with Easterseals, Edge Research conducted a national survey in August 2022 of 1,062 "Employment Extenders."
