When asked to detail what would make a better life in three to five years, 60% of US adults said greater financial security
Americans may seem increasingly divided on beliefs and values, but in a new survey of more than 30,000 adults from across the country spanning generations and economic classes, a majority of Americans agree there’s a significant barrier to achieving a better life: the rising cost of living.
When asked to describe what a better life in three to five years would look like, 60% of Americans said they wanted greater financial security, according to a survey that was conducted by the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility and the WK Kellogg Foundation in mid-April.
In interviews that accompanied the survey, respondents often defined financial security as being able to afford basic necessities without worry.
no shit, its also why you hear “still living at home with aging parents, and they are nagging” stories, especially around the time when covid was laying off people not hiring any back, and the tech layoffs around other platforms, barring the truly dont want to get a job people. hcol, mcol and healthcare is the main factors.
also COL/income status is skewed in low cost states too.
