RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Raleigh has more people between the ages of 65 and 74 working than other major cities across the country.

It was discovered that 25.6 percent of people in the 65-74 age range work in Raleigh; which is higher than the national average of 21 percent.

It puts Raleigh at number 23 out of 170 cities.

So, what is fueling this trend?
