So my friend and I were discussing the general topic of what happens to our employability as people once we reach the age of retirement. My feelings on this are I am hopeful and I think people can retain their skills and probably express different kinds of skills too. (some call this wisdom =D ).
At this point my friend introduced some dark humor, citing this link with an actuarial table, saying that,
“Most people over 75 are unemployable simply for the fact that they’re dead now”
So I like jokes but I figured it was important to fact check his joke here, so in looking at this table, a subset of it,
I stitched together this table, and modified the joke as follows
“Most people over 80.5 are unemployable simply for the fact that they’re dead now “
