Women make up two-thirds of low-wage workers in the U.S. and often face unique financial challenges, earning less throughout their careers and taking on caregiving responsibilities that can impact their retirement savings, leading to more retirement insecurity. That is why AARP is backing federal legislation that would improve financial security for older American women and provide resources to help them be independent in retirement. Learn more about the Women’s Retirement rotation Act of 2025 and how it would address the financial vulnerability of women retirees.

Each day, an average 10,000 more Americans turn 65. And at some point, 70% of those 65-plus will require long-term care. In this country, more than 48 million family caregivers dedicate themselves to caring for aging parents and loved ones, enabling them to remain in their homes and communities. However, caregiving often comes at a steep personal cost. We know that 61% of family caregivers work either full- or part-time, but many have had to cut back on work or leave their jobs, sacrificing income, retirement savings, and financial security.   That’s why AARP is urging Congress to put money back into the pockets of hardworking family caregivers by passing the Credit for Caring Act, which would provide a federal tax credit of up to $5,000 for specific caregiving-related expenses.   Thank you to Mark Strassman and CBS News for speaking with me and for highlighting the need for greater support for America’s family caregivers.  #FamilyCaregiving #Caregiving #CreditForCaring #Advocacy

Hispanic Americans have the highest life expectancy among all racial groups, a trend known as the "Hispanic Paradox," where despite facing socioeconomic challenges, they live longer, healthier lives. This trend highlights a growing group of resilient employees who continue to contribute and adapt well into their later years. As age diversity in the workplace increases, it highlights the importance of upskilling. At the same time, new technologies such as AI or automation, are reshaping job roles, making digital and technical skills essential. AARP is here to support your career journey with resources, like workshops, skills-building tools, and job search resources that can help you better position yourself for the job you want.

Family caregivers need help. According to AARP research, 8 in 10 caregivers help cover routine expenses for their loved one, spending an average of $7,200 a year out of pocket – making it harder to afford groceries or pay bills. Many spend their personal savings, tap into retirement savings or cut down on their own health care. That is one of the many reasons AARP applauds the reintroduction of the Credit for Caring Act, legislation that could ease that challenge with a tax credit that puts money back in the pocket of hardworking family caregivers.   I recently had the opportunity to speak with one of our members, Ana Tris, who is caring for her 91-year-old mother, who has dementia. She shared what a tax credit for caregivers would mean for her and her family. I’m grateful to Ana for sharing her story with us, and proud of the work our dedicated team at AARP is doing to fight for greater support for millions more caregivers just like her.   We are giving Congress 100+ reasons to prioritize a tax credit for family caregivers.

Individuals with chronic illnesses are often hesitant to share their condition with their employer, especially older workers who might face age discrimination as a result. Yet, hiding illnesses can create a range of on-the-job issues for both workers and their bosses. Find out how chronic illnesses affect job performance and tips on how to ask your employer for the assistance you need.

Despite being the largest minority group in America, Hispanic Americans face significant challenges in retirement saving. Studies reveal that older Hispanic workers are the least likely to participate in retirement plans. To supplement their income later in life, they’re remaining in the workforce for longer. Although this creates new opportunities for companies to invest in experienced workers, it also opens the door for age discrimination in hiring and in the workplace. What steps can you take to address age discrimination? 💬Talk with a supervisor: The conversation doesn’t have to be formal, but make your concerns heard. ✍️Keep a log: Keep discriminatory emails or track actions that should be addressed. 🗣️Lodge a complaint with the company: If conversations haven’t worked, go through the formal complaint process. What steps have you taken to push back on age bias at work?
