How Many Americans Rely on Social Security for Their Entire Income?

*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, United States* While the cost-of-living increase for Social Security this year was 6.2 percent, the largest gain since the early 1980s, inflation has taken a bite out of that difference. Social Security is a program meant to help older and retired Americans with their income, although it is not necessarily intended to provide their entire income. But for some older Americans, it does just that. Citing Social Security Administration data, CNBC reported this week that about 12 percent of men and 15 percent of women “rely on their monthly Social S... read more

There are two follow-up videos where the failure is analyzed, here and here. I have... read more
