WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will not hear Exxon Mobil's appeal of a $236 million judgment for its use of a gasoline additive that contaminated groundwater in New Hampshire.
The court's order Monday leaves in place a jury verdict involving contamination by the chemical MTBE.
BOSTON — More working Americans — 31 percent — believe they will retire later than the minimum age to collect their full Social Security benefits than held that expectation 20 years ago, a recent study from Gallup shows.
By comparison, already retired Americans say they stopped working at an average age of 61. Today, only 23 percent expect to knock off before turning 62, or before they would be eligible for Social Security benefits. Thirty-eight percent expect to retire sometime between 62 and 67, according to the study released late last week. Eight percent are unsure.
