6/25/2024, Plainfield NJ Work, Retire, Repeat: The Uncertainty of Retirement in the New Economy Hardcover – March 6, 2024 by Teresa Ghilarducci (Author) Teresa Ghilarducci E. J. Dionne Jr. (Foreword) https://lnkd.in/ecwjrtqX The Brookings Institution $22.01 264 pages University of Chicago Press Michaela Luckey https://a.co/d/03tLqg12 Teresa Ghilarducci's "Work, Retire, Repeat: The Uncertainty of Retirement in the New Economy" offers a sobering examination of the retirement crisis facing Americans today. As a labor economist and expert in retirement security, Ghilarducci presents a compelling argument against the prevailing notion that simply working longer is the solution to inadequate retirement savings. The book paints a stark picture of retirement inequality in the United States, where elders face a higher risk of poverty compared to their counterparts in other wealthy nations. Ghilarducci challenges the "Working Longer Consensus," exposing the flawed assumptions behind this approach and its potential negative consequences for workers' health and overall well-being. Through meticulous research and poignant personal stories, Ghilarducci illustrates how many older Americans find themselves trapped in jobs not out of choice, but out of financial necessity. She argues that working longer does little to improve retirement security for most people and can exacerbate existing inequalities. The author doesn't just critique the current system; she also offers solutions. Ghilarducci proposes a "Gray New Deal" that includes creating better pensions and good jobs for older workers. She advocates for relatively low-cost changes to how retirement is financed and managed, which could allow people to truly choose how they spend their later years. Ghilarducci's work is particularly timely, addressing the growing concern about retirement security among middle- and lower-income Americans who don't have substantial retirement savings. Her analysis is backed by extensive research and data, making a strong case for systemic reform rather than individual solutions. The book is organized into three parts, first examining how the push to work longer has worsened the retirement crisis, then exploring the hidden costs of extended working years, and finally proposing solutions through the "Gray New Deal". This structure allows readers to grasp the full scope of the problem before considering potential remedies. "Work, Retire, Repeat" has garnered praise from notable economists and thinkers. Thomas Piketty, author of "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," calls it "a must read" that puts retirement inequality at the forefront of political discussion. Robert Shiller, a Nobel laureate in Economics, suggests the book may prove as influential as Stuart Chase's 1932 book "A New Deal". #Work_Retire_Repeat #PlainfieldNJ Work, Retire, Repeat: The Uncertainty of Retirement in the New Economy https://lnkd.in/ecmvpwG3

Meet Larry Blaszak, an M&T Technology Equipment & Sales Team Lead who inspires our team during #EarthMonth and beyond: "Earth Month is a time to spread awareness of the importance of the planet’s conservation. In my role at M&T Bank, I recondition technology to either reuse, re-market, donate, or recycle, thus decreasing landfill waste and reducing our carbon footprint. This year’s Earth Month theme, Planet vs. Plastics, is a great reminder that plastic is a durable product that does not decompose quickly. It is not biodegradable; thus, when disposed, it poses a great danger to life. A process that has been used to dispose of plastics, burning the product produces harmful gases and adds to the ozone layer destruction." #sustainability #planetvsplastics
