13. It was adjusted up to 67 a few years ago. The mill I worked in
shut down on my 61st birthday, I drew unemployment for a year until I reached 62 and then retired.
You ever try to find a job at 61 years old when you spent your entire working life in a steel mill? I'm glad I was financially secure enough to retire at 62 I honestly don't think I could work for 8 more years. Working shift work on the 4th most hazardous job in America with Thursday and Friday off and being exposed to every damn carcinogen known to man takes its toll.
