More than 1,000 employee benefits decision-makers at companies of all sizes across the United States participated in the survey. The study’s objective was to understand the benefits landscape, the financial wellness market, the barriers to and impact of financial wellness, and the perceived financial health of their employees. “We knew, even before the pandemic, that 78% of workers were living paycheck-to-paycheck,” Brian Hamilton, Senior Vice President of SmartDollar, said in a statement. “Those money problems follow people to work, leading to more problems.
