I figure up to 75%. Many out of necessity and the rest out of desire. Most retirees will want to work at least part time because they need to for basic necessities or they want to for life style enhancement or to serve society in some way. That’s why I don’t believe the projections that there will be a labor shortage when baby boomers retire. There may be a shortage in some areas, but not in most. There probably will be a shortage of part time work that baby boomers would be willing to do.
