• Cost of living and debt are driving financial anxiety. Younger workers (under 40), parents, and workers without emergency savings are more likely to perceive money as a source of stress and anxiety.
• One-quarter or more identify finances as their primary source of stress; this is twice as prevalent as other major stressors including work, health (mental or physical), and personal relationships.
• Workers reporting not being in a good financial position have a mental health score at least 24 points lower than workers reporting a good financial position.
