401(k) access key to positive retirement outcomes

Published 3 Min Read

The 2015 Lifetime Income Score research, spearheaded by the newly launched Empower Institute, shows working Americans on pace to replace 58% of their current income in retirement, a slight drop from 61% in 2014. That percentage includes Social Security.
