I am helping in the revision of a book and many of the facts used are
out of date. Most of these were current in 1994-1995 so if we could
get the most current information for the new edition that would be
fantastic.

6. Labor Department statistics show that in 1994 the median private
pension for married men was $4,562 a year, or less that $88 a week;
for married women it was $2,389 a year, or $45.94 a week.
