November PM Copy Correction
Source information cited in three graphics included in the November 2015 PM article “Retirement Security: A Moving Target” were reported incorrectly by the magazine.
The correct source line for Figure 1: Distribution of State and Local Pension Plan Funded Ratios is: The Funding of State and Local Pensions: 2014–2018 (written by Alicia Munnell and Jean-Pierre Aubry).
Authors of the publication State and Local Government Workforce: 2015 Trends, cited in Figure 2: Health Care Plan Changes and in Figure 3: Retirement Preparedness, are Elizabeth Kellar, president, and Joshua Franzel, vice president, Center for State and Local Government Excellence, Washington, D.C.
