Rep. Joseph Crowley on the Savings and Retirement Security Crisis

The inability to save money and achieve financial stability at every stage of life is one of the most significant challenges confronting American families today. With nearly half of U.S. households lacking sufficient savings for emergencies, and one-third of workers saying that they are not saving for retirement, the savings and retirement security crisis in the United States is undermining the financial security of the middle class and those working to join the middle class. In his speech, Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, will discuss the urgent need to address this crisis and why now is the time to bring security and peace of mind to working families. Vice Chair Crowley will lay out an agenda that makes saving for the future a possibility for every American.
