According to a 2008 analysis of Current Population Survey data, between 1994 and 2007 in the percentage of employed older workers who worked full-time has increased in all age groups. In 2007, 92.0% of men and 79.2% of women aged 55-61 were employed full-time, an increase compared to 1994 of 0.7% and 7.5% of men and women respectively. For ages 62-64, 82.2% of men and 68.4% of women were employed fulltime, an increase of 6.8% (men) and 15.3% (women). At age 65, in 2007, 63.7% of men and 63.7% of women were employed full-time, increases from 2004 of 22.2% and 31.6%, respectively. The percentage increases rose with age through ages 66-69. There were double-digit percentage gains among men aged 65 and older and among women aged 62 and older. The rise in women's full-time employment was greater than for men. (Table 6, p. 48)
