Mobile Share Email Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

The brief’s key findings are:

  • The National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI) shows the percent of households ‘at risk’ of failing to maintain their standard of living in retirement.
  • The NRRI jumped from 44 percent to 51 percent today due to:
    • the bursting of the housing bubble;
    • the stock market crash; and
    • the ongoing rise in Social Security’s Full Retirement Age.
  • Clearly, Americans need more retirement saving.
