NCLR to release new report, “Enhancing Latino Retirement Readiness in California”
LOS ANGELES—Our nation faces a looming retirement crisis. More than half of all working-age Americans are unprepared for a financially secure retirement. Latinos, who are projected to account for most of the growth in the American workforce between 2010 and 2050, make up more than half of the seven million Californians who work for employers that do not offer a retirement plan.
California is currently designing a statewide retirement savings program for people who do not have a retirement plan at work, the largest share of whom is Latino. Join NCLR (National Council of La Raza) for a panel discussion about the findings of a new report that examines how California’s bold approach to employer-based retirement savings plans could improve Latino retirement readiness and the retirement outlook for the nation as a whole.
To attend the event, please contact Julian Teixeira, Senior Director of Communications, at jteixeira@nclr.org or (202) 776-1812.
