Description
Oh and Moen published in twenty twenty-three a study of bridge jobs taken by older workers near retirement. A bridge job is work taken after leaving a main career job. People may switch trades, leave an employer, or cut to part-time hours. The authors used a large national study of health and retirement. They asked how seeing oneself as retired changes when full exit finally happens.
Many workers felt partly or fully retired when leaving an employer or cutting hours. Fewer felt retired when they simply switched occupations. Effects differed for men and women and by job type. For example, switching trades delayed full exit for some men. The findings show self-image matters in later working life, not just pay or hours.
