Job and Stock Market Woes Could Linger for Retirees (U.S. News & World Report)
U.S. News & World Report – The state of the job market and stock market in the year you retire could affect how much income you receive a decade or more into your retirement.

High unemployment around the time of retirement means some older workers may be pushed out of the workforce earlier than planned, which also generally reduces retirement income.
