With 401(k) balances plunging and the cost of things such as gasoline, food, housing and healthcare soaring, millions of recent retirees have gone back to work. However, after leaving the working world behind, these “unretirees” are not looking for just any work. Retirees are looking for jobs that are flexible and part time, experts say.

Ideally, jobs for retirees should also play on the retiree’s experience, talents or resources to earn the most money in the shortest time.

There are a handful of online platforms that specifically look for retirees and near-retirees for flexible, part-time and, sometimes, remote work. Their goal is to capitalize on the retiree’s experience, while accommodating his or her need for flexibility. By and large, these sites work with small businesses that need experts in fields such as law, human resources, marketing, logistics, project management and accounting. Few of these jobs offer benefits, but many pay professional hourly rates. Here are good sites to find this type of work.
