Workers over 60 are the least worried AI will take their jobs — but they may have less time than they think

The article reports that workers aged 60+ are the least worried about AI displacing their jobs (14%), compared with 24% of 30–44 year-olds and 23% of 18–29 year-olds, but cautions older workers may have more working years ahead as the share of workers 55+ rose from 15% to 23% (2003–2023). From a market perspective, the piece argues that AI-driven labor changes could prompt retirees to delay exit, build emergency savings, and shift portfolios toward defensive assets (e.g., gold) and debt reduction. Financial-product promotions (high‑yield cash accounts, gold IRAs, debt consolidation loans) underline potential retail demand for cash-like and haven assets. Overall, the story is a neutral/mixed market commentary highlighting possible increased flows into safe assets and heightened household precautionary saving.
