Compulsory retirement is no longer legal in the United States. The age used to be 65, but because of age discrimination, that requirement is no longer effective. Certain professions such as air traffic controllers, airline pilots, and military personnel are highly recommended to retire at age 65. The reasoning for this recommendation is because these jobs are considered to either be more dangerous, or they require more mental and physical skills.
