Title: Why Women Are Losing Big at Retirement Source: WNYC

*Author: *Leonard Lopate Date: Aug 7, 201*5*

*Summary: *Working women are often pushed into lower paying jobs, take home less pay than men, spend less total time in the workforce, and accrue less in Social Security and retirement savings than men do. Social security, which is a key component of retirement, will come out to far less for working women, those who might need it most. TIME magazine correspondent Haley Sweetland Edwards http://www.wnyc.org/people/r/?n=Haley+Sweetland+Edwards describes how American women are bearing the brunt of the retirement crunch http://time.com/3969233/inside-the-next-social-security-crisis/ in “The Next Social Security Crisis,” which appears in the August 3 issue of the magazine.
