ADVANCE Lecture -- The Great Recession: Impact on Workers and Retirees
Featuring Courtney Coile, Wellesley College | Special Introduction by Nancy K. Kopp, Maryland State Treasurer
During the "Great Recession" that began in late 2007, the U.S. experienced the loss of nearly 9 million jobs, as well as sharp downturns in the stock and housing markets. How have these economic events affected U.S. households? This talk will explore this question, with a particular focus on how job losses and losses in equity and housing markets late in a worker's career may affect his or her retirement decision and subsequent well-being during retirement.
