Retirees as a Growth Industry

Gene F. Summers and Thomas A. Hirschl

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1985, vol. 01, issue 2

Abstract: The aging of America means business opportunities for communities to expand their jobs base and serve their older citizens better. Most retirees have sufficient incomes which they prefer to spend in their own communities. The authors present some general suggestions as well as specific examples of what communities are doing to tap this source of local income.
