After retiring, some seniors may not want to completely walk away from putting their skills to good use. Thanks to the Internet, there are plenty of part-time jobs that can be done remotely from the comfort of home.

U.S. News & World Report has identified 13 job opportunities that offer reasonable wages and flexibility that allows plenty of leisure time and less pressure. You can put your specific skills to good use in these jobs, and there are others that can help you capitalize on hobbies and personal interests.

For example, credentialed individuals like teachers, bookkeepers, dietitians, legal transcriptionists, and appliance repair people can find possibilities in their hometowns or online.

Retired executive assistants and customer service representatives may be able to serve clients online, as can business consultants.

Writers, proofreaders, graphic designers, and commercial artists have desirable skills that can earn them good part-time income.  For those more oriented to arts and crafts, hand-sewn items and woodworking projects can generate extra cash.

We Know Every Dollar Means a Lot

Extra income from Social Security will ease inflation pressures. Here at Council of Seniors, we know getting Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act should be a high priority. This bill can make up for past Social Security cost of living adjustments (COLAs) that didn’t measure up to your needs. If it finally passes, seniors will be reimbursed the missing $581 that should have been paid in recent years.

Signing our petition without delay will show Congress this issue is vital to you.
