Boomers Can't Count On Pension Plans
When DuPont retiree Jim Riggleman entered the work force in 1964 with a Ph.D. in horticulture and plant physiology from the University of Maryland, each of the companies he considered joining had one thing in common: a pension.
"I looked at a pension plan as a basic," said Riggleman, now 73. He went on to spend 29 years with DuPont, working for the crop protection division, most recently as manager for licenses and technology transfers, until taking an early retirement offer in 1993.
