On Wednesday, January 29, 2020, the Milwaukee Urban League, the Wisconsin Office of State Treasurer, and member of Governor Evers Retirement Security Task Force hosted a listening session to hear from Wisconsinites on the challenges they face adequately saving for retirement and also addressing the retirement crisis in Wisconsin. The panel was held at the Milwaukee Urban League offices, 435 W. North Ave.
Among those present on the panel were The Milwaukee Urban League’s President and CEO Dr. Eve M. Hall (left) and State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski (right). Wisconsin’s aging population is expected to increase by 60 percent by 2030, and many have no way to save for retirement. The state is looking at options to help those with the possibility of a state-facilitated retirement savings program.
