The future of work is bright for baby-boomers, according to a book by Tamara Erickson, an author and researcher specialising in workforce developments. In this latest work, Erickson explains why people born in the years 1946 to 1964 can look forward to a second career spanning 30 years.

Some, she admits, may not want to put in the same hours as in their first career. Some may be looking for other opportunities such as travel or community work. But today there is an opportunity to do something new, something they may feel more passionate about.
