Pension debt looms for Americas top 100 industrial firms
America’s 100 largest industrial corporations owe at least 38 billion dollars more in unfunded pension liabilities than they have set aside.

General Motors leads unfunded liabilities at 7.3 billion, with Ford and Chrysler also carrying multi‑billion gaps.
