This report shares results from Wave 6 of a national survey of consumers investigating COVID-19 impacts on job status, income, and personal financial security.
Wave 6 of the CFI COVID-19 Survey of Consumers indicates that as of early November, respondents were reporting increases in both financial concerns and the need for additional assistance, despite relatively stable job and income statistics since July. Data collected from education loan holders reveal that those with education debt are more likely to report job or income disruptions and appear more vulnerable to the pandemic’s economic impact regardless of their age, income, gender, or race/ethnicity. More details are available in the full report.
