The Louisiana Weekly, a newspaper dedicated to the “interests of Louisiana's African-American community” recently published an article about the influence of the current Social Security system on African-Americans. The future is not looking good!

“Research indicates that many future retirees, including an estimated 77 million Baby Boomers, will have difficulty maintaining an adequate standard of living. For African- Americans, this problem is exacerbated by various factors.

Recent data indicates that 45 percent of all African-American workers did not have access to employer-based retirement benefits, and of the other 55 percent who did have access to those benefits, only 41.5 percent participated. Additionally, many African-Americans rely greatly on Social Security, and for one out of three African-Americans over the age of 65, it is the only source of income.”

It is great to see people concerned with this pressing issue. Check out the entire article by clicking here!!
