2017 Retirement and Savings Survey Results



The survey results are in! This August, deferred comp conducted its annual Retirement and Savings Survey and received over 8,000 responses. Like last year, the survey was sent to three segments of state of Missouri employees: active employees age 35 and under, active employees age 36 and older, and terminated employees (retirees) over age 55. This year the surveys asked more detailed information on debt, expenses, and what financial topics savers would like to learn more about. The feedback received will help MO Deferred Comp better understand participants' needs and ultimately improve education efforts. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's surveys.
