concerning ac commodation the survey showed that 57 per cent of these pensioners lived in their own home without a mortgage another 25 per cent lived in senior citizens housing retirement came after an average of 38 work years over 30 per cent had worked for only one employer that by leslie holbrook latter figure is likely to be considerably reduced when younger workers retire thirtyeight per cent of the 3000 replying were in the managerial supervisory or senior executive class 36 per cent said they r were wage earners thirty- four per cent retired at age 60 or under there was not as much moving to sunny climates as i would have expected ninetytwo per cent remained in the last province of work main shifts were from quebec to ontario and from several provinces into bc the average annual

sixtythree per cent of all these pensioners are not able to achieve regular savings fifty- three per cent of the executive group but only 22 per cent of retired wage earners said they were putting something in the bank half of the 3000 pensioners had paidup life insurance policies the survey showed that it takes some time after retirement for seniors to become fully aware of facilities ac tivities and services available to them this indicates that more pre retirement information is needed by way of courses company retirement manuals etc let me know how these statistics compare with
