The 2020 Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS), fielded in January, found 77 percent of retirees are confident in their ability to live comfortably throughout retirement, down slightly from 82 percent in 2019. Despite the subsequent pandemic, that number barely changed when the survey was refielded in late March (76 percent).
 
The annual RCS, now in its 30th year, is the longest-running survey of its kind, measuring worker and retiree confidence about retirement. Prepared by EBRI and independent research firm Greenwald & Associates, the RCS was conducted in early January, prior to the coronavirus crisis that is greatly impacting U.S. and global markets, businesses, and unemployment. Recognizing the impact these events may have had on RCS results and key metrics, the researchers refielded a supplemental survey of key questions from March 20–30, 2020.

Join us for this webinar as we take a look at this year's findings and see how it compares to earlier iterations. Our panel will provide real-world industry perspectives on the survey results and the role the industry can play in educating workers and retirees.
