How much is the average pension?

According to CalPERS https://www.calpers.ca.gov/docs/forms-publications/facts-at-... it's $32k/yr, which is hardly extravagant.

But that of course includes a lot of people who have spent little time accruing benefits.

The median pension is probably a better measure of centrality here.

Not when it comes to measuring cost to the state.
