Should you quit working just because you're creeping up on retirement age? Not necessarily. If you're eager to keep flexing your professional muscles and want to avoid money mistakes in retirement, then there's no reason to back out of the workplace.
Some companies are not just retaining their older workers; they're actively recruiting and hiring them. Thanks to the AARP Employer Alliance, it's easy to figure out where older workers can find a supportive home.
From health care and social assistance roles to business services and wholesale and retail trade, here are seven companies where you should start your search.
Editor's note: Salary data was sourced from PayScale.
CVS Health
CVS launched its Talent is Ageless initiative over a decade ago in an effort to recruit older workers who might be bypassed by other companies. They look to attract workers who are 50 and older, finding positions where they can take the lead and leverage their years of expertise.
Younger workers may have a reputation for picking up cutting-edge skills, but CVS Health knows that older workers are just as savvy, and they have institutional knowledge that can't be taught overnight. This commitment is part of their motivation in signing the AARP Employer Alliance.
Aetna
Aetna, which is a part of the CVS Health family, is known for its commitment to flexible, remote jobs, which are often a perk for older workers. They're one of AARP's top companies for flexible roles, and those are often in areas like customer service.
If a worker has dreams of retiring to the beach or closer to family, this is a chance to take on a job that can move with you. And, if you're in a role like a software engineer or a systems analyst, you'll make up to $60 an hour.
Fidelity
If you've had a job in the financial services world, then Fidelity Investments could be a good place to look for a role in the latter part of your career.
Fidelity is a legacy name in the financial world, and, while they're not known for offering full-time remote work, it might be the right fit for someone eager to stay in an in-office role. Some roles, like management consultants, can make an average of $85 an hour.
UnitedHealth Group
UnitedHealth Group is a believer in diversity in all its forms within the workplace, and that includes supporting older workers and the expertise they bring to the office. They have training specifically geared towards older workers, which they see as critical, particularly with a world and a customer base that's also aging.
They actively recruit workers over the age of 50 and have policies in place to help support and retain these employees. Plus, they have roles that pay these workers what they're worth. Registered nurses and project managers can make over $50 an hour.
H&R Block
About 22 million customers worldwide used H&R Block for their tax services in 2025, and they're one of the biggest legacy names in tax preparation. Their workforce carries the same legacy.
The company gravitates towards older workers because they have more life experience. They've seen the tax situations that impact their customers firsthand, and they can more thoroughly guide customers through the tax season. Tax managers can make up to $52 an hour, and the company hires both year-round and seasonal employees.
Macy's
Macy's is a member of the AARP Employer Alliance, and their commitment to supporting older workers is clear in both its benefits, which include comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits, as well as retirement contributions. They are also committed to training employees in all roles, both in-store and corporate.
Marriott
Marriott is committed to the AARP Employer Alliance and supporting workers over the age of 50. They offer flexible scheduling, which is a perk enjoyed by those who are nearing retirement and eager to spend time visiting friends and family.
Marriott is also known for their great health care benefits, which are a huge plus for older workers. Free preventative care, free access to health coaches, and free telehealth help set up employees for a healthy, vibrant second chapter.
Bottom line
In 2025, the number of Americans working past 65 reached 19.1%.
Some of those older adults are working out of necessity, hoping to get on track for retirement. But others are working because they enjoy the challenge, they like routine, and they gain value from being part of a team. Whichever is the case for you, these companies could help you prepare yourself financially for whatever lies ahead.
