You don't have to stop working once you hit your 60s. For some, it's an economic necessity or a way to top up their retirement savings to withstand the vagaries of a fickle market. For others, it's about staying active and social.

Whatever the motivation, companies are increasingly recognizing the value of experienced workers and hiring accordingly. Below, we break down companies that are actively hiring older workers, plus the types of roles that tend to be the best fit.

Walgreens

Walgreens is a go-to option for older workers who want something familiar, local, and steady.

Retail roles like cashier, stock associate, or customer service rep are common, and many locations offer flexible scheduling. If you have a background in health care or pharmacy work, there may also be more specialized roles available.

The work is straightforward, the environment is familiar, and the barrier to entry is relatively low.

Apple

Apple retail stores are known for hiring people who are comfortable helping others, not just pedigreed tech experts.

Roles like sales associate or Genius Bar support focus heavily on communication and problem-solving, which can play to the strengths of older workers. If you've kept up with technology even a little, you're already ahead of the curve.

It's a more modern retail environment, but the core job is still helping people figure things out.

H&R Block

H&R Block is one of the easiest ways to find seasonal work that actually pays well.

Tax season creates a surge in demand for support roles, covering everything from reception to tax preparation. You don't necessarily need prior experience, as the company offers training programs.

If you're looking for part-time work that doesn't take over your whole year, this is one of the cleaner options.

Amazon

Amazon continues to hire across a wide range of roles, from warehouse work to customer support.

Fulfillment center jobs tend to be more physical, but there are also remote customer service positions that allow you to work from home. The flexibility in job types makes it easier to find something that fits your energy level and preferences.

It's not glamorous, but it's consistent pay and hours.

McDonald's

McDonald's hires across all age groups, and many franchise owners actively welcome older employees.

Roles can range from front counter to drive-thru to light kitchen work. Schedules are often flexible, and shifts can be shorter than traditional full-time jobs.

At my local McDonald's, senior workers often lead Saturday morning rounds of Bingo (obviously a location-specific gig) and dole out coupons for free breakfast sandwiches.

McDonald's offers a fun, familiar environment, and once you learn the flow, the work becomes routine.

Home Depot

Home Depot is a strong fit if you like staying active and helping people solve problems.

Sales floor roles often involve guiding customers through home improvement projects. Many stores value employees who can explain things clearly rather than just point to a shelf.

Personally, when I visit Home Depot, I'd prefer to talk to a 60+ employee over a young associate any day of the week. They're far more likely to have real-life experience doing home renovation projects.

It's physical enough to keep you moving, but not usually overwhelming.

Hilton

Hotels like Hilton regularly hire for front desk, concierge, and guest services roles.

These positions tend to emphasize communication, reliability, and professionalism, areas where older workers often excel. Many roles also offer part-time shifts, which makes it easier to fit into a semi-retired lifestyle.

You're essentially helping people have a smoother stay, not doing heavy labor.

UPS

UPS is worth a look if you want something more active but still structured.

Seasonal and part-time roles are common. Positions can include package handling, sorting, or driving, depending on your qualifications.

The physical aspect is higher here, but so is the predictability of the work.

Kelly Services

Kelly Services isn't a traditional employer. It's a staffing agency that connects you with temporary job posts.

This can be useful if you're not sure what kind of work you want. They place workers in administrative roles, customer service jobs, and short-term assignments that can turn into something longer.

It's one of the easier ways to test different types of work without a long-term commitment.

Visiting Angels

Visiting Angels hires caregivers and support staff to help older adults remain in their homes.

Roles typically involve non-medical support like companionship, light housekeeping, and daily assistance. While some positions can be physically demanding, many focus more on presence and reliability than strength.

Demand for this type of work is growing, which means opportunities tend to be steady. And in this role, you'll definitely be brightening someone's day — probably many someones.

Earn as much as $1K doing simple online tasks

A company called Freecash has compiled all sorts of quick cash tasks from about a dozen advertisers and market research companies thirsty for more data. Freecash has paid out over $13 million to users since 2019, and has over 50,000 five-star reviews on Trustpilot.

Bottom line

Working after 60 isn't unusual. Whether you want flexible hours, seasonal income, or something to keep you engaged, there are plenty of opportunities.

If you're planning your next move, it might also be worth exploring ways to maximize your senior benefits so your income and savings work together.

The key is finding a role that matches your energy and your interests, not just your professional work experience.
