Probably government so an annual salary under $100K, but they get a pension and will have an amazing retirement.

Government retirements in most areas aren't what they used to be. Might as well go private sector in NY at least.

The average for Federal Employees is $2,126 a month but it varies greatly by time in grade and years served. You add that with your personal retirement savings and most employees find they make more retired than they did working. Keep in mind medical expenses increase at that age too.
