One takeaway:<p>Percent engaged increases after 65 not because of age effects, but because of survivor bias: those who work after retirement are primarily those who choose to work.

I bet the figures wouldn't change much if it was a world wide survey.<p>One of my friends said something that always stuck with me (mainly because I burst out laughing when he said it):<p>"Its called WORKing not FUNing, so STFU we all hate our jobs"

I would like to have seen a more detailed breakdown of that $36,000-$89,000 salary range. It is slightly lower (28%) than below $36,000 or above $89,000 (30%), but I wonder how much variation there is inside that big range.

Most of us don't need 8 hours a day to do our job, but it's hard to express that without sounding like a bad employee.
