Number: RL30263 Title: PENSION POLICY: THE CONNECTION TO JOB STABILITY AND JOB SECURITY Authors: Linda Levine, Domestic Social Policy Division Abstract: This report opens with a discussion of the relationship between vesting and portability in the nation's private pension system and the ability of employees who hold multiple jobs over their work lives to accumulate adequate savings for their retirement needs. It then goes on to examine trends in job stability and job security because it has been argued that alleged declines in both measures make it all the more important for Congress to enact certain pension reforms.
