A 457(b) is similar to a 401(k)/403(b) in how it allows workers to put away money into a special retirement account that provides tax advantages, letting you grow your savings tax-free over time. One key benefit of a 457 though is that it allows you to take distributions before the age of 59.5 if you separate from service/plan to retire early!
