Based on analysis of 2003-05 CPS data, the results "showed that the predominance of working poverty as a form of underemployment was especially pronounced among nonmetropolitan area women, particularly among those of older age. For non-metropolitan women aged 55-59, the percentage earning less than 125% of the poverty threshold was 10.4%, compared to 5.8% of metropolitan women. For women aged 60-64, the rates were 12.0 % and 8.2% for nonmetropolitan and metropolitan, respectively. (Table 5, S20)

This study is based on data from the March Current Population Surveys for the years 2003, 2004, and 2005. Descriptive statistics were used to explore the prevalence of underemployment among older workers. (p. S15)
