The center for Media Research, a polling and statistical organization,
provided a link to the above report concerning the future plans of
retirees. In this report (among other interesting figures), the online
survey reports that 70% of polled retirees say that they plan on
working during their retirement, and at least 13% said they planned on
doing so full time (although one questions just what retirement with
full time work is supposed to mean).
Regardless, for those who are considering continuing to work in some
form or another, it appears not only will they have company, but they
will be in the majority. Most of those asked for their reasons cited
something other than money, saying that it would help them stay fit,
feel productive, learn new things, or get out and meet people.
The report also quotes statistics regarding weather these semi-retired
baby-boomers intend to try to make themselves appear younger to appeal
more to employers. The article addresses statistics, but in general, it
appears married men and women were less likely to be willing to change
their appearance to appear younger than single individuals, though some
would say this is the case in the general population, and not just in
regards to employment.
