France’s parliament voted to raise the minimum retirement age to 62 from 60 (North Carolina has no minimum for public employees) and to increase the age at which workers get full pension benefits to 67 from 65. The move puts the French state-run pension system in line with the U.S. Social Security system and other European countries.
UPDATE: The editorial board at USA Today complains, “The French are addressing their problems. So are the British. American leaders are not.”
