America’s workforce is getting older as financial pressures of retirement keep workers in their jobs longer.

Some 23.2 percent of U.S. workers are older than 55, increasing by 17.3 percent over the last decade, according to an analysis by online careers development platform MyPerfectResume. Older workers’ growth rate outpaced the total workforce’s 11.3 percent increase.
