This statistic shows the results of a survey among American workers in 2013 regarding working after they have reached retirement age. 15 percent of respondents said they were planning on continuing their work fulltime.
Do you think you will continue working when you reach retirement age, or stop working altogether?
The source poses the question as follows: "When you reach retirement age, do you think you will continue working, and work full time, continue working, and work part-time, (or) stop working altogether?"
*According to the source, "results are based on telephone interviews conducted April 4-7, 2013 with a random sample of 1,005 adults, aged 18+, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia."
