Ghilarducci Named to NYC Comptroller's Retirement Security Taskforce
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer named SCEPA Director Teresa Ghilarducci to an expert taskforce to study how to provide retirement security to New York City residents lacking retirement plans at work.
The Comptroller announced his intentions to create the panel at SCEPA's 2014 conference, "Confronting New York City's Retirement Crisis," which was co-sponsored by the New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO.
SCEPA's report, "Retirement Readiness in New York City," identified that employer sponsorship of retirement plans is falling. Between 2001 and 2011, the percentage of workers in the New York region with any type of retirement plan – either a traditional pension plan or a more widespread 401(k) plan – decreased from 49% to a mere 41%.
