I guess Wal-Mart is the first thing that comes to everybody's mind. Obvious by all other responses.
Actually, it depends on your abilities. I have several clients who employ senior citizens to do different things. What are you able to do? Do you want to be a janitor? Are you a good salesman? Many car dealerships and auto parts stores use seniors to deliver and pick up parts. Do you still drive?
What did you do before you retired? Is there something similar you can do on a smaller scale?
Are you looking for work because you need the money or are you just looking for something to occupy your time? If the latter, have you considered volunteering? How about the hospital, senior center, etc.????
Good luck

You may wish to consider the insurance business, particularly specializing in long-term care coverage. Americans are finally waking up to the fact that this coverage is an absolute necessity for most, and often a sensible option even in the wealthiest of households.
Most agents selling LTC today are relatively young, as veteran agents are a bit timid about its complexity. Most seniors are leery about being advised on issues of aging by someone 30-40 years their junior. They are much more receptive to someone they view as a peer. The average LTC policy commission is around $1,000. It's an incredibly challenging business, but quite rewarding if you're successful.

Check out the city government. The recreation department would be good if you like kids, the senior citizen center if you don't! Of course, these places won't give you benefits like WalMart would for example, but it's fun work.

home depot is big on hiring retirees, especially if you have some handyman type skills so that you can answer customer questions
