This supplement provides a wealth of information on the labor market activity of respondents in the preceding calendar year, including weeks worked, usual hours worked per week, weeks spent looking for work, and the like. We draw on the information in this supplement to construct a measure of retirement. Difficult as it is to define retirement, as noted in chapter 2, the nature of the CPS data forces us to restrict our definition to complete labor force withdrawal. Specifically, we take retirement to occur when an older worker reports working or looking for work in the preceding calendar year for at least thirteen weeks but is out of the labor force on the March survey date.
Individuals do not seem to alter their retirement behavior in a meaningful way when home prices fall. We conclude that the current economic crisis will lead both more workers to retire because the labor market is weak and fewer workers to retire because the stock market is weak: according to our estimates, 378,000 workers will be forced to retire because of the weak job market, and 258,000 workers will choose to delay retirement because of the weak stock market. In other words, the increase in retirements associated with higher unemployment is almost 50 percent greater than the decrease (or delay) in retirements associated with lower stock prices.
Consider a worker who leaves his career job at age sixty, works part-time at a new job until age sixty-five, claims Social Security benefits at age sixty-two, and does unpaid volunteer work until age seventy, at which point he finally considers himself retired. This worker might be classified as having retired at any of those ages, depending on the retirement definition used. Two labor force patterns that are not infrequent among older workers can further muddy the waters. The first is the use of so-called bridge jobs after workers leave their full-time career jobs and before they fully withdraw from the labor force.
