As someone on the tail end of that birth cohort (and to quote Monty Python), "I'm not dead yet!".

According to BLS (as pointed to by https://usafacts.org/answers/what-is-the-labor-force-partici...), the 55-and-older stat is 37.1%. I don't think 7 years would reduce that to between 5-10%. Also, it's worth noting that projections from BLS showed labor‑force participation for ages 75+ rising to about 10.8% by 2026, up from 4.7% in 1996.
