Ohio’s small businesses overwhelmingly support a public-private option for retirement savings

The vast majority of Ohio’s small-business owners want more done to support workers saving for retirement. That’s according to a new survey on behalf of “A-A-R-P Ohio”. The group’s state-director, Holly Holtzen, explains… “Small businesses recognize that there’s a retirement-savings crisis in Ohio. And, they want lawmakers to take action. 79-percent of those surveyed agree that being able to offer a retirement-savings option helps them attract and retain quality employees—and stay competitive. Yet, six-in-10 do not offer their workers a way to save. We’re calling on our state-policymakers to form a taskforce of stakeholders, to develop a state public/private retirement-savings option—at no cost to employers—that will help Ohioans save for their future-retirement. Helping all workers save for the future helps continue to make Ohio the best place for those ‘50-plus’ to age.” To learn more, visit “a-a-r-p”-dot-org-slash-“o-h-saves-survey”.
