More than a quarter of American workers have not set aside any money for retirement. 1

"Saving for retirement is paramount for all employees, but too often, those who work for small businesses don't have a simple way to set aside these savings. By creating the Secure Choice Savings Program, we are ensuring that every worker in New Jersey will have the opportunity to save for the future. We are creating more opportunities for future retirees and generations of workers to follow." - NJ Governor Phil Murphy
