According to a new report from the Conference Board, 62 percent of workers between 45 and 60 plan to delay their retirements , a stark jump from 2010 when 42 percent of workers planned a delay. Job loss, financial loss, and a lower salary caused many workers to reshape their future plans: Right now, more than half of middle class workers are expected to outlive their retirement savings , as pension plans have declined dramatically.
