Thirty-nine million Americans work for an employer without a payroll-deduction retirement savings plan, and many of them are saving little or nothing. With individual retirement accounts – something called the “Automatic I.R.A.” – there can be a program to make things as easy and inexpensive as possible for both employers and workers.
