"The majority of older Americans leaving full-time career employment (about 60% of those leaving a full-time career job after age 50 and about 53% of those leaving after age 55) moved first to a bridge job rather than directly out of the labor force." (p.523)
Cahill, K., Giandrea, M., & Quinn, J. (2006). Retirement patterns from career employment. The Gerontologist, 46(4), 514-523.
The authors "utilized data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) in order to explore older Americans' patterns of labor-force withdrawal. The HRS is a nationally representative panel data set designed to help understand retirement patterns, determinants, and consequences. As shown in Table 1, the HRS sample includes more than 12,600 individuals (in more than 7,600 households), with respondents aged 51 to 61 in 1992 and their spouses, of any age." (pp. 516-517)
