Occupations Most Vulnerable to Boomer Retirements

Sept. 24, 2014
As people 50 and over continue leaving the workforce, these are the jobs that will be hardest to fill and most painful to feel due to their strategic importance to the economy.

Many material handling and logistics professionals have construction, manufacturing and engineering backgrounds. Many of them are also between the ages of 50 and 65. That means they're looking at retirement, and as they do, their absence will be felt. Those occupations are not attracting enough young people to pursue the courses of study necessary to fill the void. This gallery will take you through the skilled occupations that are most affected, listing the jobs and their populations (courtesy of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Adecco Career Services)--a sizeble number of whom are Boomers.
