Annual Pension Insurance Data Book
The PBGC has published the Pension Insurance Data Book since 1996 to present detailed statistics on PBGC's programs, operations, and benefits on single-employer and multi-employer plans. The data book is broken into four main sections; Figures, Single Employer plans, Multiemployer plans, and a research article. The figures section displays all statistics at a glance. Obvious trends are the precipitous decline in the enrollment of employees in defined benefit (DB plans)over the past 20 years and the spike in PBGC deficit during times of recession/defaults. The single employer section gives all data and statics on single employer programs.
- Section S-3 through S-19 are the claims tables. The show all of the claim brought by single employer DB plans to PBGC.
- Section S-20 through S-29 are the payment table. These table show how much PBGC is paying out every year in insurance protection.
- Section S-30 through S-38 are the insured tables. These table show how many participants are insured under the PBGC.
- Section S-40 through S-44 Premium tables. These table show how much premiums the insured pension plans are paying.
- Section S-45 though S-52 Show the underfunded Plans, overfunded Plans, and the funding ratios by NAIC business code, state, and participant count.
The multi-employer section, the M sections, follow a similar organization.
The article usually is a research paper or an extended explanation of operations at the PBGC.

“It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For there can be no whiter whiteness than this one:
An insurance man’s shirt on its morning run.”

“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
