Based on a 2007 analysis of data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), "younger 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." (fig. 3, p. 4)

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