also, be aware that some instances don't "do" downvotes at all, so some of us can't see them. (This post has 44 upvotes as far as I can see. if it also has 100 downvotes, I can't see them.)

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.)
