2018 Retirement and Savings Survey Results



A big THANK YOU to all who participated in the 2018 Retirement and Savings Surveys! Your insights will help us modify our current communication strategy, tweak seminars, videos, and publications to best suite your needs, and educate on topics relevant to your current life situation.

Like past years, 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. The MO Deferred Comp Plan saw a huge spike in participation rates this year with a total of 12,828 responses! We truly appreciate each and every one of you for taking the time to respond to our surveys and in turn, help to improve the plan's outreach and education efforts.
