(I may have put this in the wrong thread - I was thinking this was money related since the focus was on working due not not enough money for retirement. Mods, I apologize, feel free to move it where it is more appropriate)
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research just released the results of a survey of older workers and their attitudes towards working and retirement:
Working Longer: Older Americans Attitudes
From the above summary page link the detailed survey results (13 page PDF) can be downloaded.

Older Americans are not only growing rapidly in numbers, but are also becoming substantially healthier. The duration of healthy old-age is increasing, due in part to increases in the length of life and to shorter and later periods of illness. Faced with the expectations of living healthier for longer, older adults may opt to remain in the workforce for longer and defer savings, pensions, and Social Security for older age. Increased workforce participation for older adults has implications for retirement policy, Social Security and health care financing, and the behavior of employers and employees alike.
