Workers could see new retirement benefits under trump plan

Trump signs a major order expanding retirement access for millions of workers.
Around 56 million workers currently lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans.
The new order aims to make saving for retirement easier and more accessible.
Eligible workers could receive up to $1,000 per year in government matching contributions.

Gig workers, freelancers, and small business employees are expected to benefit the most.
A new platform will allow workers to choose and manage retirement accounts more easily.
Starting early with consistent contributions can significantly grow long-term savings.
Some experts say the policy may not fully solve retirement inequality challenges.
The plan will roll out gradually with more details expected in the coming months.
