And the less money you make, the more likely you are to have less than $5k even if you have a fairly generous match or other employer contribution. 6% of 20k is only $1,200, and that's really a very very generous contribution. Also, lower wage jobs have higher turnover so people with lower wages are less likely to be vested in employer contributions.
Anyway. Thanks once again for the funny! People retaining retirement money, hah. Good one.

Atticus was making the point that savings are down under Bush. I was asking if the numbers incluse retirement because alot of retirement money went down with the stock market, and that woould explain Atticus' chart drop. so my point wasn't that people retain it, my point was that people lost it.
