A Retirement Security Retrospective: 2007 Versus 2017

Retirement Security Retrospective 2007 vs 2017 - retirement research
American workers encountered a myriad of challenges over the past decade, including high rates of unemployment, dramatic shifts in home values, volatility in the financial markets, and the double-edged sword of a low interest rate environment that provides for favorable lending rates, but nominal investment returns on savings accounts and other conservative investments. 

The Great Recession officially lasted from December 2007 to June 2009 but its after effects continue to linger today. Questions continue to be asked about the status of the recovery among employers and workers. How has retirement security changed? What are areas in need of improvement? TCRS prepared this report based on findings from its annual retirement survey of workers and employers to help answer these questions.
