The Shifting Paradigm of Retirement

On February 3rd, 2017 the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hosted a conference, The Shifting Paradigm of Retirement: What is Means for Employers, Workers, and Retirees, that explored what saving for retirement looks like in today’s landscape and focused on how to make retirement saving more accessible. ?

 At the event, the U.S. Chamber released, Securing America's Retirement, a legislative roadmap that details policy solution proposals Congress can act on to achieve better retirement security for workers. The legislative proposals included in the roadmap address previously introduced legislation the Chamber has endorsed; legislative ideas Congress can act on immediately to enhance the private employer-provided retirement system; and key issues that should be debated as Congress looks at ways to strengthen our retirement structure.

 In addition to the roadmap, the Chamber recently released State Auto-IRAs: The Wrong Answer, a white paper outlining the ways state auto-IRAs will hurt small business workers, as well as 401(k) Plans: Opportunities and Challenges for Small Businesses, a report which looks at what it takes to start a 401(k) as a small business and why we need to simplify small business retirement plans.
