That there is diversity in the work and retirement behaviors and at
titudes of our small-town respondents is obvious. Thus, attempts to
legislate broad solutions to problems of Social Security and other
factors of most interest to older persons can be assured of having
both supporters and detractors among the elderly in rural settings
as well as among other age groups. Within the diversity observed,
how ever, are some results requiring further attention. The
relatively positive adjustment to not working of the retired men in
the study bodes well for those expecting to leave the work force in
the next few years. This positive adjustment mirrors that observed
in several other recent studies, of course. Still, those not making
positive adjustments must be considered; they will continue to
require the attention of various support services so that attempts
to solve their problems will be successful. Equally significant is
the fact that no clear picture of the work and retirement
orientation of these rural men emerged. On the one hand, they were
remaining in the labor force slightly longer than men in urban 67
68 LATER LIFE TRANSITIONS samples and the job satisfaction and
preferred retirement age for men still working had increased over
the decade. On the other hand, the value placed on work had
decreased, attitudes toward retirement had become more positive,
and the men were more work than non work oriented."
