For many Americans, this uncertain time has turned into an uncertain future.
During an era where social distancing, staying home and self-quarantining are the norm rather than the exception, the global pandemic is changing the way people across the country — and around the world — are living every day.
In fact, as an original survey conducted by the Harris Poll for Personal Asset Retirement reveals, Americans are more stressed about overcoming the financial strain of a poor economy than they are of actually catching COVID-19 itself. Overall, 82% are worried about the long-term impact of a potential recession in the United States.
Now more than ever, there is an opportunity to offer advice and restore optimism as individuals adjust to today’s current culture.
Key findings:
- Many adults remain unsure on how today’s crisis affects their savings strategy
- Investors appear content on “staying the course” despite volatility in market
- Employees want guidance from their employer on how to manage their retirement account
