in 2011, almost half of working Americans were not offered a retirement account by their employer —
Other groups with high participation rates include those covered by a union contract (82%, as opposed to 56% of those without a union contract), public sector employees (82%) and those at firms of 1,000+ employees (74%).

Its hard to play into retirement when your company's making profits
and you just got a 25 cent raise so now your at 15 bucks |

Here's what you don't get. If her nursing home paid the LPNs and CNAs as much as a registered nurse makes at a hospital, the nursing home would be bankrupt in a month. Why? Because you cannot have more than there is.
My insurance company sells lots of professional liability policies to nursing homes. I know a lot about that business. Most of them barely break even.
If your wife wants more pay and better perks, she needs to acquire the necessary qualifications for a better position.
Being a CNA or an LPN at a nursing home is a tough job. Hard work, stress, some real responsibility, but not great pay. The great pay is for RNs and above.
