A typical resume does not need to go back more than 10 years for the work history unless you are in a profession that requires more detail, like being a university professors, or a scientist for a drug company where you need to show accomplishments throughout your career.

For OSHA records the retention period may go from 5 years for the OSHA 300 log to 30 years for the records of exposure to cancer causing agents. So as you can see there is no one set time frame. The unfortunate result of there being no one certain answer is that HR departments have a tendency to keep everything forever.
