Statistics on disabilities and age-related limitations

Almost one in five working age Americans (age 16 to 64) has at least one disability (33.2 million people).
— 2000 U.S. Census

As the "baby-boom" generation ages, the number of people in the labor force aged 55 to 64 is expected to increase by 51 percent-more than four times the average for all other age groups.
— Bureau of Labor Statistics
