A survey was taken given by New York-based StrategyOne to 1043 Americans between August 20th to August 23rd. The survey revealed that nearly 2/3 of Americans believe that they will not be able to quit their jobs and retire once they reach retirement age. The results of this survey reflect the state of our current economy. Since our economy is currently not in the best shape, nearly half of the surveyed working Americans have reported that their paycheck has been decreased. Additionally, they fear that they could lose their jobs or some of their hours. The downfall of our economy is having a huge impact on the working class. Among it's many disadvantages on our society is the fact that less retirements means fewer jobs for future generations. Hopefully, our economy will soon rebound and eliminate this issue.
