Retirees' pensions are based on wages earned. Over time, these wages lose purchasing power. Maintaining that purchasing power, or at least keeping it from dropping as quickly, is good for NH, as 80% of pension benefits stay in NH. The NHRS's benefits have a positive impact on the state's economy. For example, in 2020, every dollar of pension paid to a New Hampshire resident generated $1.70 in local economic output. This is good for New Hampshire and should pass.
