Economic Report:

A majority of workers live paycheck-to-paycheck according to a new study. The shocking numbers found that 61 percent of workers depend on the paycheck coming down-the-line to pay bills and buy food. That is a drastic increase from 49 percent in 2007. Perhaps most surprisingly is 30 percent of workers who said they earn more than $100,000 per year are currently living paycheck. That’s a jump of nine percent since 2008. The survey was conducted by Careerbuilder.com.
