This webinar examined new national research on how Americans are thinking about retirement security amid rising costs, growing debt, and a rapidly changing financial landscape.
The report, “Retirement Insecurity 2026: Americans’ Views of Retirement,” finds that 80 percent of Americans believe the nation faces a retirement crisis, while 61 percent are concerned they will not achieve financial security in retirement. The research also reveals how affordability pressures are making it harder to save, with Americans pointing to healthcare costs, inflation, long-term care, stagnant wages, and debt as major barriers.
During this webinar, attendees heard an in depth review of the findings and discuss what they mean for workers, employers, and policymakers. The conversation explored Americans’ retirement savings and financial literacy, views on pensions and workplace retirement benefits, concerns about Social Security, and attitudes toward emerging issues including artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency in retirement planning.
