Oct. 25, 2011 | WMFE - Unemployed Americans over the age of 50 are out of work, on average, three times longer than their younger counterparts. A record number of Americans are claiming their Social Security benefits as early as possible and a quarter of Americans over 50 say they have exhausted their personal savings.

 
Those are just some of the figures from a report released last week by the Government Accountability Office.
90.7’s Tom Parkinson asked economic analyst Hank Fishkind what this news means for Florida’s economy.
