how many tier 5 members of ERS

Tier 5 members make up a small slice of ERS: about 3.8% of members in the NYSLRS fact sheet, which is the latest figure I found, and older NYSUT materials cited 35,188 Tier 5 members as of March 31, 2011.

Quick Scoop

• ERS has six tiers, and Tier 5 covers members who joined from January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2012.

• The most recent public statistic I found says Tier 5 members are 3.8% of NYSLRS members.

• A historical snapshot from 2011 said Tier 5 members were 35,188 people , or about 5.5% of ERS membership at that time.

What that means

If you were asking for the current share, the best public number I found is the 3.8% figure. If you wanted the raw count, the available source I found gives an older count of 35,188 , but it is not a current systemwide total.

TL;DR

Tier 5 is a relatively small ERS group, and the latest public fact sheet puts it at 3.8% of members.
