40-45% of households owe NO Federal taxes due to low income, half of workers have no retirement plan at work. Pensions are disappearing. If this is you, you need to follow SCEPA, and insist that Congress strengthens social security for lower income workers. @scepa-economics.bsky.social

2/2 Teresa Ghilarducci at the Retirement Lab/SCEPA, has focused on (lack of) retirement security and unemployment among older workers for decades. So crappy that the scourge of discrimination has spread and mutated faster with AI. @tghilarducci.bsky.social
