One of the worst economical events since the Great Depression, the 2008 stock market crash was an occurrence that will go down in American history. This catastrophic event within the United States had many circumstances leading up to it that are monumental in of themselves. Effects of this crash left many people homeless, jobless, and most importantly, hopeless of ever recovering from such a devastating time. Just receiving a job interview was nearly impossible and getting food on the table was becoming harder and harder to many Americans. One thing is for sure and that is the 2008 stock market crash was extremely hard to go through but something even better to say you survived.

Many Americans believe that the social security program will face a crisis in this century because of funds running out. The fear of the people is that he government’s funds will be bankrupt when those people try to retire. Already a quarter of most Americans believe that they will receive no benefits from social security; what can we do about the social security problem? The reason that the problem is occurring is because of pay-as-you-go financing, demographic changes, the adoption of wage-indexing of the benefit formula in the 1970s. Due to the baby boomer generation, there are more americans retiring than ever. The younger generation has to pay for the older people retiring, but the problem is that there are less young people entering the

Amazingly, private pension plans survived the stock market crash in October of 1929 with only a three percent of workers losing their plans. In fact, a few of the private pension plans started before 1929 are still active today-

The financial crisis that put our economy on a downhill rocky road is known as the Great Recession of 2008. The U.S. Governments resolution to one the biggest panics was revolved around multiple bailout and fiscal measures. The fight to pull our weakening economy out of a dark hole left the American people with hope of advancing what gets thrown their way. The many bailout programs implemented by the U.S. Government can only hold the economy together for so long until were up to our knees in debt.

If an individual is lucky enough to find a position where the employer offers a pension plan, younger individuals change jobs more frequently making it less likely that they will qualify for pension benefits. In fact, 70% of Generation Y employees left their first job within only 2 years, not long enough to vest in many pension plans or even to get the employer’s 401(k) match (Davidson, 2012).

Executive VP of retail banking and wealth management at HSBC Bank USA Andy Ireland reportedly stated that though retirement funds are a great nest egg for the future, they can also be a liability when life emergencies happen.

Every year, corporations work with designers to create and distribute their most important document of the year: the annual report. If produced effectively, this document, marked by high production values, massive printing expense, and the collective work of designers, corporate communication teams, writers, models and photographers, serves to persuade a shareholder audience that the investment choices they have made are wise, that the company reflects the values of their investors, and that investors should, above all, not divest themselves of the company’s stock. Annual reports serve not only to communicate the financial health of a company to their audience, but act as a bridge between a corporation and a concerned shareholder. And in times of turmoil (such as the economic crash experienced in North America in the fall of 2008), they must be especially effective in communicating a company’s identification and consubstantiality (Burke, 1969) with their audience’s ethos.

Most employers offer new employees the chance to roll over their old company’s plan. Getting all retirement plans into one place can make saving much more convenient and

Gradually, the Social Security Administration has grappled to accommodate a host of novel demographic trends, namely those impacting the retirement sector of the American population. Continuously, with advances in the medical realm, the senior population is steadily extending its lifespan, and thus, retirement altogether, introducing a wealth of new economic considerations. As human longevity increases, the Social Security system proves increasingly unsustainable, specifically in the pension department-among other areas. As workforce involvement declines with age, the budgetary deficit and low supplementary funding plague the social security system. Unless crucial economic reforms are made, the present rate of pension disbursement will

In my opinion, the recent economic crisis compare to the Great Depression have many causes but one of those is the high unemployment rates. The proof is that in 1933, the Great Depression unemployment rate soar to 25%. While the current number of unemployed level was increased by 0.1%, and nearly unchanged at 7.5 million. As a result, the increase in violent crimes is allied to the rise in unployment, this led to the global economic downturn.

The Global Financial Crisis, also known as The Great Recession, broke out in the United States of America in the middle of 2007 and continued on until 2008. There were many factors that contributed to the cause of The Global Financial Crisis and many effects that emerged, because the impact it had on the financial system. The Global Financial Crisis started because of house market crash in 2007. There were many factors that contributed to the housing market crash in 2007. These factors included: subprime mortgages, the housing bubble, and government policies and regulations. The factors were a result of poor financial investments and high risk gambling, which slumped down interest rates and price of many assets. Government policies and regulations were made in order to attempt to solve the crises that emerged; instead the government policies made backfired and escalated the problem even further.
