Uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men to compare the impact of status characteristics important during work careers--race, residence, education, occupation--on men's economic outcomes before and after the normal age of eligibility for retirement benefits. Results show only modest change in effects of background variables over time, across ages, or with hours worked, and suggest more continuity than change in the determinants of income.
