Some professions, with pensions that can be taken earlier, tend to skew younger. But pensions are becoming the exception, rather than the rule.

uniformed public safety employees have lower "normal" retirement ages for a reason
I wouldn't consider a police officer who retired at 52 an early retirement, for example
opposite of that, some professions don't have retirement dates at all
for example, actuaries never retire, they just get broken down by age and sex
Dangerous or physical jobs, early means 40-45. For the couch potato jobs, it's 50-60.
extremely early: 30's or younger.
very early: 40's
early early: 50's
early: mid 50's to early 60's
normal: ss age or older (62+)
new normal: 70

I don't think they do, I meant they have a reason to retire because their bodies.not all physical jobs have employer-provided early retirement benefits before age 55 - for example plant jobs in the oil industry, offshore rig workers, oil services terminaling, etc.

no doubt but many of them have no recourse
IMO, all of us want public safety employees to retire earlier than the rest of us
for example, i don't want some 60 year old fat bald-headed dude trying to pull me out of my house when it's on fire
Don't those guys switch to a desk job after a certain age anyway. Like of my sister's ex employers, CEO has to retire once they reach 60. They can do other job but not CEO job.no doubt but many of them have no recourse

But it's ok if he's fat and has a full head of hair.
Most of my friends were civil servants meaning they all got full pensions after 20 years.
I think any time in your 50's is early. 60's is normal. I don't know any 70 year olds that are working for the money
All the ones i know volunteer etc for the rewarding experience
