Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Workers in their 50s today, compared to previous generations, are more likely to switch jobs voluntarily. (2) The question is whether such job changes lengthen or shorten a worker's career. (3) The results suggest that job changes lengthen careers: those who switch jobs are much more likely to still be in the labor force at age 65 than those who stay put. (4) This effect is somewhat larger for better-educated workers than for less-educated workers.
