Pension and job – that's possible. According to new regulations, the full pension will be paid out even if you work part-time.
But where can such jobs be found? The Federal Statistical Office says the proportion of employed people aged 65 to 69 has increased from eleven percent in 2012 to 19 percent in 2022. For around 40 percent of those in employment aged 65 and over, the activity carried out was the main source of livelihood. For the majority, this income was additional income in addition to their pension, often in highly qualified mini-jobs. For people of retirement age who would like to remain active beyond retirement age, numerous online portals offer a variety of suitable job offers. From established job portals to specialized platforms aimed specifically at (pre-)retired professionals, there are many options for looking for jobs.
