Economic Report:

Sixty-three percent of workers polled in a new survey who said they were pushing off retirement cited the high cost of health care. According to a survey released last week by Watson Wyatt, 44 percent of workers 50 and older are delaying retirement. The top reason cited by those surveyed was the decline in the value of 401(k)s.
