Using Health and Retirement data, Cahill, Giandrea, and Quinn found that "When asked to indicate how much they agreed or disagreed with the statement, "I enjoy going to work," 95 percent of respondents on bridge jobs in 2004 said they strongly agreed. Responses were similar across wage or occupation groups. About 33 percent of white collar, highly skilled workers said they "strongly agreed" with the statement, as did 33 percent of blue collar, non-highly skilled workers." (p.7)

"This Issue Brief focuses on how people leave their career employment and the role that one particular type of flexible work arrange, bridge jobs, plays in the retirement transitions of older Americans." (p.1)
