"Similar proportions of caregivers and non-caregivers of working-age (age 51 to 64) are employed - 63 percent and 65 percent, respectively. Three-quarters of employed caregivers of working-age work full time - 40 or more hours per week. A slightly larger proportion - 79 percent - of adult children that do not have caregiving responsibilities work full time...More than one-quarter - 28 percent - of adults without living parents were working for pay and 58 percent of employed adults without living parents were employed full time."
