NEW: Across a number of states, there really was a sharp increase in teachers leaving the classroom after last school year, according to new data I compiled. https://t.co/U9piOk6Rgp

After Kansas slashed its income tax, some schools had to end the year early because they didn't have enough money to stay open.

Kentucky needs to learn from that mistake -- not repeat it.

Approval of labor unions now stands at 71%, according to a new poll from Gallup.

That’s the highest approval rating since 1965.

Bear markets, when stocks decline at least 20% from their recent peaks, are relatively rare. Sometimes stocks can take years to return to their previous levels. For older workers nearing retirement, waiting it out may not be an option. https://t.co/IgeDJHdmxn

Great piece from @KOSEUnion Prez @MsLaFrenzKS: "Public pensions are a promise. They are a promise to the hard-working public employees across Kansas who dedicate their lives to serving our communities." #ksleg https://t.co/bRsWnFB2SV

In our new video, we break down what you need to know about the retirement security crisis - what it means, why it’s happening, and why 401(k)s are part of the problem, not the solution.

Good read about why we need both support for green business and robust federal programs if a less environmentally impactful economy is to also have broad social benefits.

In Florida, lawmakers are considering closing the state's defined-benefit plan to nearly all newly hired public employees.

Dan Doonan of @NIRSonline
writes on why that would be a mistake for the state.

Opinion: Teachers deserve better. After years of fighting for better pay, smaller class sizes, and a COLA for retirees, Oklahoma teachers are fighting against HB 2293, which would take $28 million from their pension system every year. https://t.co/CiX97MOw7M

Wyoming House passes Medicaid expansion on 3rd reading! 32-28. Now on to the Senate!

[National Public Pension Coalition @ProtectPensions]

We advocate for pensions because we understand the sacrifices public employees make during their careers, and we know that a secure, dignified retirement is the right way to thank them.

Sherry Chan, @NYCActuary, knows this too. https://t.co/g1zX7icJ92
