"Eighty percent of Americans say nation faces retirement crisis, up from 67 percent in 2020,” by Kathleen Steele Gaivin, McKnights Senior Living
"Eighty percent of Americans participating in a newly released survey by the National Institute on Retirement Security said they believe the country is facing a retirement crisis. That’s a ‘sharp increase’ from the 67% expressing concerns in a 2020 survey, the NIRS said last week in a report about the results. Citing inflation (73%) and market volatility (62%) as contributing factors, more than 60% of the survey respondents said they worry they might not achieve financial security in retirement. Seventy-six percent of those concerned about falling short also said they are concerned about the possibility of Social Security benefit reductions if Congress fails to act.”
