An interesting juxtaposition… these articles address the fact that many persons over 65 are in the work force.
In the first the title implies that older Americans work because they are unable to retire.
I for one never expected to retire at 65. In fact, I have always said that I would work until I was 80… I have just over 8 years to go.
New Hampshire is the 7th lowest.
“New Hampshire has 23.6% of its senior population engaged in work. With a population of 1.4 million and 289,958 seniors, its aging workforce contributes to small businesses and the state’s growing tourism industry.
New Hampshire’s lower tax burden and community-driven ethos might encourage older residents to extend their careers. The remaining 76.4% of the senior population, however, are retired or not actively working.”

The second indicates which states are best for seniors to work.
New Hampshire is second on the list.
"Washington topped the list “due to its strong business environment, with no personal income tax and the highest rate of new business growth last year (88.6%),” according to the report. “It also has a high median income for senior households ($63,963) and a strong work-from-home culture (22.4% of older adults are remote).”
It was followed by New Hampshire and Alaska.
