Corporate pensions, the third leg of the proverbial retirement stool , are also being eroded as the foundering stock market wreaks havoc on employer pension funds. At the end of 2008. employer-sponsored pension plans were underfunded by more than $400 billion, according to Mercer, a management-consulting firn. The recent stock-market rally has halved that deficit. but it remains a funding sore spot and is one more reason that companies are turning away from this benefit.
Companies initiated many of these benefits in a different time, says Fontanetta. Retiree benefits started being offered when many companies had a young workforce with few retirees. so it was not really a cost they had to contend with. Today its the reverse, particularly in old-line industries.Detroit s Big Three automakers, for example, have more than Four rimes as many retirees as active hourly workers.
