Jayne Burns, Bob Rohloff and Melba Mebane are part of a fast-growing share of the workforce: Americans working past 75. Many Americans are working into their 70s and 80s — or longer — because of longer life spans, changing attitudes about retirement and insufficient savings. Mebane began working as an "elevator girl" at the Mayer & Schmidt department store in 1949 when she was just 17 years old, through a work-study program at Tyler High School. During her tenure at Dillard's, Mebane had several opportunities to become a manager, but she always turned the offers down. Those friendships, Mebane says, made working at Dillard's "the best job I ever had."

Bob Rohloff didn't expect to find his dream job when he was 16 — or that he'd stay in the same career for the rest of his life. The Wisconsin native started cutting hair in 1948, training under his dad, Erv, who was a barber. 1930s Courtesy: Rohloff familyStill in his teens, Rohloff took hands-on barber training at the Appleton Vocational School in Appleton, Wisconsin, a 20-minute drive from his hometown, Black Creek. Following graduation, Rohloff opened two shops in Wisconsin and then worked in Arizona for 18 years. At this point, Rohloff says he can't imagine his life without working in a barbershop.

Bob Rohloff has been cutting hair for almost as long as he's been alive — and at 91 years old, he doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. In June, Rohloff opened Bob's Old Fashioned Barbershop in Hortonville, Wisconsin, a 20-minute drive from his hometown, Black Creek, and a 2-hour drive north from Milwaukee. He started cutting hair in 1948, training under his dad, Erv, who was also a barber, and honing his skills at the Appleton Vocational School in nearby Appleton, Wisconsin. After graduating, he opened two shops in Wisconsin, then moved to Arizona in 1990 and spent 18 years working there. Erv Rohloff cutting Bob's hair circa.
