"According to analysis of the Health and Retirement Study, younger HRS respondents who left their career jobs by 2004 were more likely than older workers to move to a bridge job. For example, of the men who moved from a FTC job by 2004, 67 percent of those less than age 62 years took a bridge job, compared to only half of those aged 65 years and older. A similar pattern was found among the women with career jobs, with the differences between the youngest and oldest workers being even more pronounced." (p. 4)
