12 - Minorities Face Retirement: worklife disparities repeated
is a report that raises red flags about changes in the Social Security system. Since most minorities rely on social security benefits as a major retirement income source, says the study's author, Dr. Marjorie Honig, any attempts to tamper with the Social Security system will hurt minorities most.
