Americans are significantly more worried about their retirement funding than they were even a few years ago, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center. In a significant shift, the most concerned adults are now middle-aged and younger, with those closer to retirement showing more confidence.
Writing for Pew Social & Demographic Trends, Rich Morin and Richard Fry say that in a new national survey, nearly four in 10 adults say they are “not too” or “not at all” confident about having sufficient income and assets for retirement. In early 2009, only 25% of respondents felt that way.
