Observations on the NIRS Private Retirement System Analysis: Data 'Minding' is In Order
Data 'Points' 
[Opinion] Oct. 1, 2018
"Last week the National Institute on Retirement Security released a report ... that claimed that the median retirement account balance among all working individuals is ... $0.00. Moreover, that same report claims that '57 percent (more than 100 million) of working age individuals do not own any retirement account assets in an employer-sponsored 401(k)-type plan, individual account or pension.' ... [M]uch of the data -- and key elements, such as wealth, income, participation and retirement savings -- that underlie the conclusions is 'self-reported' which ... even the report's authors acknowledge '...can be problematic...'.... [C]aution in applying the conclusions seems well-advised."
