As the mindset of the retirees is changing to the new reality of working in retirement, active retirement, Forbes editors aptly thought it fit to modify their criteria to include factors concerning retiree-friendly job markets to their list in addition to a few other new criteria. Plus they also looked at migration patters of people in the age group of 55 - 65 years. This gave an indication of where people are moving to. The result, is the all new list of Best Cities for Retirees.
