The U. S. Census Bureau predicts that the number of Americans ages 65 and older will be near 70 million by 2040 (U.S. General Accounting Office & United States Congress, Senate, Special Committee on Aging, 2003). The dramatic increase in older Americans, will ultimately affect the workforce and retirement. Studies have shown an increase in the variability of the age of retirement, proving that some workers are retiring at earlier ages and others are continuing to work far beyond the expected age of retirement (Han and Moen, 1998). However, older workers' ability to fulfill certain job requirements or perform specific job tasks may be altered with the onset of age. In 1990, fourteen percent of men age 65 and older were still in the labor force, and seven percent of women age 65 and older continued to work (Marshall, 2001). Older workers who continue to work regardless of health status may place both employers and employees at risk for work related injuries. Since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects workers with health problems from being denied jobs, employers should create job positions that accommodate older workers with health complications (Culp, 1005).
