Estimated at 750,000, these seniors travel across the country in RV’s to seasonal jobs with guest ranches, theme parks, traveling fair contractors, private campgrounds, public parks and tour operators. Employers appreciate these migrant senior employees because they bring with them work experience, stability, commitment, and a strong work ethic. In return, the traveling seniors receive a small pay, free or low cost RV hook up, and a chance to see the country.
