Stock market turmoil has wiped out roughly $2 trillion of Americans’ retirement savings over the past 15 months, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The value of pension funds and retirement accounts dropped by roughly $1 trillion, or almost 10 percent, in the year ending June 30, the CBO told the House Education and Labor Committee Tuesday, citing Federal Reserve data. Since then, asset prices have dropped even further. The CBO says that retirement assets may have declined by as much as $2 trillion over the past 15 months.
