"Although the majority of Americans appear to be persuaded about the need to set aside money to prepare for retirement, [the 2007 EBRI Retirement Confidence Survey] finds a slight decline in the proportion of workers saying they and/or their spouses have saved money for retirement (66 percent, down from 70 percent in 2006)." (Fig. 5, p. 8)

These findings are part of the 17th annual Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS), a survey that gauges the views and attitudes of working-age and retired Americans regarding retirement, their preparations for retirement, their confidence with regard to various aspects of retirement, and related issues. The survey was conducted in January 2007 through 21-minute telephone interviews with 1,252 individuals (1,001 workers and 251 retirees) age 25 and older in the United States.
