Doing a good job?
Worker confidence levels in doing a good job of preparing financially for retirement:
- 21% "Very"
- 43% "Somewhat"
- 19% "Not too"
- 21% "Not at all"
16% of workers now say they are very confident about having a comfortable retirement, well below the high of 27% observed in 2007.
