Work is now a factor in seniors selecting a retirement destination. This marks the first time that the “job factor” has been among criteria that traditionally have included availability of good healthcare services, a pleasant climate, low crime and choices in leisure and cultural activities.

According to a recent study that appeared in the article Best Places for Retirees on Forbes.com, retirees are looking for places that offer a range of part-time employment opportunities. Called working retirement or active retirement, boomers will juggle periods of working and not working.

People living longer and the need to supplement savings and retirement plans are among the reasons for seeking work during their golden years, as well the desire to stay active and pursue work that either interests them or relates to previous careers.

While the job factor is a new attraction, a warm climate remains a key draw, as seen below in the top five retirement destinations according to the Forbes.com article.

1. Tampa, FL

2. Fort Worth, TX

3. Indianapolis, IN

4. Atlanta, GA
