In an effort to gain insights into the impact of COVID-19 on financial security in the U.S., the Consumer Finance Institute at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia is conducting a series of national surveys of consumers that focus on changes in job status, income levels, and personal financial security.
Additionally, we sought respondents’ attitudes toward and use of various relief efforts proposed or enacted to support citizens during the pandemic. Data presented here represent results from the fourth wave of the survey conducted between July 2 and 13, 2020.1
