AARP Georgia commissioned this survey of registered voters in Georgia to gauge their opinions on saving for retirement and their support for a public–private retirement savings program for small business owners and their employees.

AARP is supporting states in their efforts to create and implement a state retirement savings option that would enable small business owners and their employees to better prepare for retirement. These public-private managed state programs would be easy for employers to set up with low costs and low risks to them, their employees, and the state. Georgia voters agree that lawmakers should make it easier for all workers in the state to save for retirement.

Methodology

This phone survey of 601 registered voters ages 21-64 in Georgia was conducted in January and February of 2023.
