WASHINGTON—According to a report released Monday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, financial concerns are prompting a growing number of Americans to delay retirement until the very last seconds of their lives. “Given economic conditions over the past decade, we have seen more and more middle-class citizens waiting until their final handful of breaths to step down from their careers,” said Bureau spokesperson Dolores Snyder, who told reporters that older Americans are now enjoying retired life for half an hour on average, typically long enough to have a pleasant conversation with a loved one or get started on a crossword puzzle. “Retirement’s different for everyone—some people may finish up working and then live off Social Security benefits for a few moments before passing on, while others might be able to lead active retired lives that last an entire afternoon. After a lifetime of working tirelessly to support themselves and their families, being able to enjoy several dozen seconds of retirement is a much-needed reward for most Americans.” Snyder added that to live comfortably in retirement, an increasing number of retirees are opting to supplement their income during their final few moments on earth with part-time jobs.

That's my 401k advisor dream. My responce is ' Dude you know I'm going to die one day right!'

So true. I will be fired for not showing up for work after I die.

I sincerely hope to die on the job

Thanks GOP

Poor Ginsburg.

i pit off work till a few minutes before my death

Those few moments are quality time. Now to do the things they've always put off.

Too real. Had this convo earlier

Death is the ultimate retirement. 😄

It's a little too real when I have sick and/or elderly coworkers who don't show up for work because they're in the ER and die the next day.

Poor Onion writers. Their humor has become a reality.

It's Really Tough Giving Up Casual Fridays and Those Free Donuts.

A shame I can like this only once!
