A new report released today by the Center for State and Local Government Excellent and the TIAA-CREF Institute finds that only 19 percent of full-time workers are very confident in their retirement income prospects, with many expressing concern about the impact of rising health care costs on current savings.

The report - the 2012 Retirement Confidence Survey of the State and Local Government Workforce – surveyed more than 1000 state and local government employees across the nation including public educators, police and firefighters.
