Did You Know?

Did you know that only 29 percent of African American adults surveyed in an October-November 2005 Joint Center poll expected Social Security to be their major source of retirement income? Fewer of them (20 percent) expected an employer-sponsored pension plan to be their major source of income, and more (42 percent) expected that their major source of income would be their own retirement savings and investments.
