Security in Your Old Age: To Employees of Industrial and Business Establishments, Factories, Shops, Mines, Mills, Stores, Offices and Other Places of Business

Security in Your Old Age To Employees of Industrial and Business Establishments, Factories, Shops, Mines, Mills, Stores, Offices and Other Places of Business is a comprehensive guide originally published by the United States Social Security Board in the 1930s. This informative booklet was designed to educate American workers about the newly established Social Security Act and its implications for their financial security in retirement. The book addresses employees across a wide range of industries—factories, shops, mines, mills, stores, offices, and other business establishments—explaining in clear, accessible language how Social Security works, who is eligible, and what benefits can be expected. The text outlines the fundamental principles of the Social Security program, including how contributions are made through payroll taxes, how benefits are calculated, and the process for claiming retirement income. It provides practical examples and answers to common questions, helping workers understand their rights and responsibilities under the law. The book also discusses the broader goals of Social Security, such as reducing poverty among the elderly and providing a safety net for families in the event of a worker’s death or disability. With its straightforward explanations and reassuring tone, Security in Your Old Age serves as both a historical document and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins of America’s social safety net. It reflects the government’s efforts to build public trust in the Social Security system and to ensure that workers from all walks of life could look forward to a measure of financial stability in their later years. This book is an essential read for those interested in social policy, labor history, and the evolution of retirement security in the United States.
