Is your workforce financially stressed?
Since the 1970’s, our nation shifted the burden of saving for retirement from the employer to the employee. Pensions are now a thing of the past, and employees have taken on the sole responsibility for their financial futures.
Today, we have 80% of the U.S. workforce living paycheck-to-paycheck, with 46% of those employees stressing and thinking about finances at work at least 3 hours per week. Only 17% of them have a comprehensive financial plan, 1 in 4 employees has less than $1,000 in retirement savings and, 43% of student loan borrowers are not making payments.
