Infographic: Illinois' 5 Pension Systems by the Numbers

By now you probably know the big numbers regarding the Illinois pension crisis:

1. $111 billion: Amount that benefits will exceed assets by 2045
2. 25 percent: Amount of state-generated revenue that goes toward pensions
3. $6.8 billion: Amount projected to be owed to pensions in 2016 budget (21 percent of the $32 billion budget)

All of those numbers will grow unless the state restructures the laws that govern its five pension systems.

And you probably know also that right now the Illinois Supreme Court is weighing whether or not the new law that restructures pension rules violates the Illinois Constitution.

What you may not know are the numbers relevant to people in those pension systems, whether as retirees already collecting benefits or active employees who rely on the pension systems for their retirement security.

Here are summaries of important numbers in each of the five state-controlled pension systems.
