June 28, 2019Study from Brookings Institution Provides Insight on UAL
September 6, 2019The National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS) released a report that updates prior case studies in Alaska, Michigan and West Virginia and provides a new study on Kentucky.

NIRS researchers found that switching from a DB to a DC plan increased costs for these states rather than address the existing pension underfunding.
The report also evaluates some of the workforce challenges that emerged as a result of the switch. To read the full report, click here.
