I mean people are still working until they can't but that time period is getting longer and longer. Partly out of boredom, partly because retirement is a pipe dream for a lot of people. But the end result is the same, the higher level jobs are rarely if ever vacated so committing to those fields with the goal of making it to the top is unrealistic. Combine that with the boom in working population, more educated, more gender diverse now with woman a much more significant portion of job seekers and you get the current status quo. Highly paid, very safe job fields are the ideal option for the young. It's certainly no easier to make it to the highest levels in safer fields but you will be far better compensated along the way as you try and likely enjoy a better quality of life too.
