We used the first wave of the new Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to document the importance of transitional stages--bridge jobs--between career employment and complete labor force withdrawal in the early 1990s. We describe the labor force status of a sample of about 9,500 older Americans with some work experience after age 49, and the transition patterns of those for whom we can identify a career job. We observe significant bridge job activity, including part-time work and movement between self-employment and wage-and-salary jobs. Subsequent waves of the HRS will permit researchers to follow this large sample through the labor force withdrawal process and to analyze the determinants and consequences of alternative retirement routes.
我们利用新的健康与退休研究（HRS）的第一波数据，来记录20世纪90年代初职业就业与完全退出劳动力市场之间过渡阶段——过渡性工作——的重要性。我们描述了约9500名49岁以后有一定工作经验的美国老年人样本的劳动力状况，以及那些我们能够确定其职业工作的人的过渡模式。我们观察到显著的过渡性工作活动，包括兼职工作以及在自主创业和薪资工作之间的转换。HRS的后续几波数据将使研究人员能够跟踪这个大样本经历劳动力退出过程，并分析不同退休途径的决定因素和后果。
