Oklahoma voters strongly support a retirement savings program, and most agree that elected officials in the state should support legislation that helps workers save for retirement, according to a recent AARP survey. Oklahoma registered voters believe retirement savings are important, and they are concerned that increases in their cost of living expenses will reduce their standard of living in retirement.​ Nearly a quarter of registered Oklahoma voters said that their employer does not offer a retirement savings plan. About seven in ten registered voters say they feel anxious about having enough money to live comfortably in retirement, and most wish they had more money saved. When they think about the coronavirus pandemic, almost three in five are worried about their current and long-term financial situation. ​

Methodology
