POLL: OLD EX-CONS HAVE FEW SOURCES OF RETIREMENT INCOME... Poll: Older ex-cons have fewer sources of retirement income By MARIA INES ZAMUDIOFor The Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) -- While many Americans his age are planning for retirement, Joseph Rodriguez is looking for his first permanent job. Rodriguez, a 51-year-old Chicago resident, spent 35 years in prison for fatally shooting two people. "I don't have the luxury to even think about that (retirement) since I'm having a late start in my life," he says. "I'm going to have to constantly work until my last breath." A new survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 69 percent of older Americans who reported having been incarcerated felt anxious about the amount of money they have saved for retirement, compared with 52 percent of those who didn't serve time. That's in part because they have fewer sources of income. The survey found that older Americans who were incarcerated are less likely to have income from Social Security, retirement accounts or a pension, and are more likely to rely on disability payments. More than half worry that the money they do have for retirement won't last over
