Economy Drags Down Retirement Index

U.S. workers are feeling much better about their own health than about the health of the economy.

Researchers in the Wellesley Hills, Mass.-based U.S. division of Sun Life Financial Inc., Toronto, have reported that finding in a discussion of their new Sun Life Financial Unretirement Index survey program.

The researchers note that “unretirement” is the state of working 20 or more hours per week after the age when a worker normally would expect to receive full Social Security retirement benefits.
