I think baby boomers seem to be concerned about staying active in the job market and just finding other things to do.
Howard Gamble,
administrator,
Wheeling
I would say the economy and retirement. It’s hard to keep your head above water and still save for retirement.
Jean Shepard,
business owner,
Wheeling
Baby boomers are concerned about having enough money saved for their retirement.
Patty Miller,
city employee,
Wheeling
I think boomers are concerned about the economy in general, and the rising costs of gasoline prices.
Bill Snyder,
courthouse security,
Wheeling
The unknown of Obamacare — and how much they will have to pay for prescription drugs.
Lisa Simon,
chief financial officer,
Wheeling
I think baby boomers need to be concerned about their retirement, health care and job security.
Kristy Bellville,
information specialist,
Martins Ferry
I think the biggest concerns for boomers is how to afford the rising cost of health care or health insurance, and because of the unstable economy and stock market, having enough money.
Judy Hunt,
Benwood city clerk
I think one of the biggest concerns for boomers today is health benefits. I have seen more and more people have their health care cut.
Maj. John Blevins,
commanding officer,
Wheeling
I think health care and retirement are big issues. Unfortunately, you see a lot of people that have to work and can’t retire.
Staci Butkus,
nurse,
St. Clairsville
Retirement and Social Security are big issues. This economy is so unstable, you could lose a big chunk of your retirement.
Janine Pietras,
secretary,
Wheeling
My concern is for the generation entering the work force, because boomers are not going to vacate their positions at age 62.
Dolph Santorine,
entrepreneur,
Wheeling
I believe health care and the economy are two of the biggest issues. Jobs are low and many boomers and seniors will have to work longer.
Lois Nickerson,
tour coordinator,
Wheeling
