Retirement Confidence Survey with EBRI

NEWLY RELEASED! Results from the 2023 Retirement Confidence Survey

This year’s survey found that Americans’ confidence about financing a comfortable retirement has dropped significantly over the last year, returning to levels last seen in 2018. Find out more about this declining retirement confidence in our press release and summary report.

 

ABOUT THE SURVEY

The Retirement Confidence Survey, conducted by Greenwald Research & the Employee Benefit Research Institute, is an unparalleled measure of worker and retiree attitudes and behaviors and the forces that affect them. With 30 years of compelling findings, this study is widely cited and is the longest-running survey of its kind.

 

2023 Focus: Retirement Confidence of Caregiving Workers and Retirees

We will offer a closer look at the attitudes, behaviors, and needs of workers and retirees who are caregivers of parents, spouses, or children with special needs:

  • Retirement confidence and priorities versus non-caregiving counterparts
  • Retirement savings, planning, and transitioning
  • Preferred sources of financial information
  • Expectations of the employer’s role in retirement security and workplace retirement plan needs
