PUBLIC: Average New York government retiree makes a $27,600 annual pension, free of state and local taxes, as well as heavily subsidized health benefits. Annual cost-of-living increases are guaranteed.
PRIVATE: If they get to retire, the average New York private industry worker receives a $13,100 pension. But only 16% of private workers in America have a pension; most rely on a 401(k), the value of which is not guaranteed.
