Encore: Work that matters in the second half of life.

CBS Sunday Morning profiles several people pursuing encore careers in a segment by correspondent Rita Braver that features an interview with Marc Freedman, author of Encore.

The CBS crew spent a day with Freedman on the road, including his appearance at a Capitol Hill briefing organized by Sen. Herbert Kohl.

Here’s the promotion blurb from CBS’s website:

“Just like they’ve redefined so many other things, baby boomers are already redefining retirement. By 2012, people over 55 will make up over one-fifth of the workforce. But, unlike their parents, they’re not going to go off to the golf course or the rocking chair. A full three-fourths of boomers say they expect to work in their retirement years. And most say they’ll have a new, second career — a career they want to be more fulfilling, that contributes to the greater good. Rita Braver introduces you to “Encore Careers” which experts say will be the biggest change in the labor force since women entered the workplace in the 1970s.”
