The government is saying so as well, even in the face of industry wanting old people out.
And there is a health threat looming over X-gen and younger posed by the bad food environment and eating habits that became "normal" in the 80s.
I have heard it saves them money on their health insurance because getting older people out of the company insurance improves their risk profile. I mean besides the fact that younger people think that older people should just hurry up and die already...

Boomers gain some advantage because we were at least adults by the time we started tearing out systems down. Younger generations started out bad and will become decrepit much earlier. I may still be alive and lifting weights when my son dies of diabetes or stroke.
Commuting was $400+ a month for me when I retired in 2016. Now back to work FT for a while, between the senior fare, about half price, for the train, and the miracle of hybrid/3 days in office, 2 wfh, it's not nearly as painful.
That's great to read, I'm glad for you. But for those of us with a car who commuted 5 days a week the costs would not go down, only up as prices rise.

once an older employee reaches 65 they have to take medicare part A so that is a big plus for a work place insurance company , who now has a partner in your health care

It's not enough of a plus for them to keep on older workers if they have developed a policy of forcing out older workers.

As I said, I used to walk to work. Five days a week, I wouldn't drive at all. Now I'm "commuting" five (or six) days a week an hour or more each way just to have something to do so I don't lose my mind from boredom. Retirement hasn't been a boon to me, financially or otherwise!
