There are 126,109 people in Wyoming counting on the Social Security they’ve earned to be there when they need it. Seventy-eight percent of those beneficiaries in Wyoming are retired workers with 12% disabled workers, and 7.4% receiving spousal or survivor benefits. Laramie County has the state’s highest number of beneficiaries at 20,655, followed by Natrona (16,835), Park (8,820), and Sheridan (8,285) Counties.
A new AARP survey, released in conjunction with Social Security’s 90th anniversary, confirms that Americans highly value Social Security, and even more so than five years ago. The vast majority of Americans – 95% of Republicans, 98% of Democrats, and 93% of Independents – consider Social Security vital to the financial security of all Americans, and 67% believe it is even more important for retirees than it was five years ago.
New 90th anniversary report builds on AARP’s long-standing public opinion research on Social Security and examines how views have changed since 2005 on Social Security’s role in retirement, its importance to future generations, and the barriers Americans face in saving for retirement.
