"The deck is becoming increasingly stacked against New Yorkers in their efforts to retire," Teresa Ghilarducci said in a statement. "Fewer New Yorkers have access to the convenience and affordability of employer-sponsored retirement plans. More and more residents now face a choice between retiring into poverty or continuing to work in old age. Without significant policy reforms, the economic tea leaves foretell a decrease in the standard of living for retired New Yorkers."
