While the U.S. Census Bureau announced Monday that state-administered pension plans improved over 10% in 2010, Cerulli Associates also announced that total assets in the U.S. retirement market, including public and private defined-contribution, defined-benefit and individual retirement account markets, increased 9.6% in 2010 to $15.8 trillion.
