Survey highlights consumer worries
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The faltering economy, sliding home prices and rising healthcare costs are making more consumers worry that they won’t be able to save enough for a comfortable retirement, a survey indicates.
An annual survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute showed the least worker confidence in seven years with just 61% of those surveyed saying they were very confident or somewhat confident of having enough money for retirement.
That was down from 70% in 2007.
