USA people don’t have a state pension?
You get social security if that's what you mean, but chances are the boomers will drain it all before my generation gets a whiff at it. And it's ass anyway.
Depends on the job. Some state employees get pensions, yes. Private employers usually do not provide pensions. The majority of people are going to get Social Security after they reach a certain age, but only if they've worked for a certain number of years. And Social Security can be as little as $1200/month. (It was never intended to be someone's sole income in retirement, just a supplement.)
