State Retirement Programs Hit $3B Milestone

from The Daily News Now! Business

Over one million workers across fifteen states have saved a combined three billion dollars through state-run retirement programs, marking a significant milestone. These programs, which auto-enroll workers at three to five percent of pay, have seen rapid growth, with the third billion reached in just eleven months. Nearly half of private sector workers lack retirement plans, and the average American has less than one thousand dollars saved. The new federal push for an online marketplace offering matching funds could further boost saving nationwide. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
