Abstract: Workers across the country face a retirement crisis. However, workers in Philadelphia are faring worse than average. First, workers in Philadelphia are less likely than workers nationally to have access to an employer-sponsored retirement account. Second, the retirement plan participation rate among workers with access to a plan at work is lower than the national average. The report was prepared on behalf of the City Council of Philadelphia.
