According a 2007 analysis of Health and Retirement Survey data, among "war babies" (HRS respondents born between 1942-1947), 13% were self-employed. Of those, 59% were still on their full-time career (FTC) job, 33% moved to a bridge job, and 5% were no longer working. In comparison, among wage and salary workers, 50% were still on their FTC job, 30% moved to a bridge job, and 16% were no longer working. (Table 3)
