2020 US financial Health Pulse
Abstract
The 2020 Trends Report explores how financial health in America has changed over the past year against the backdrop of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
Leveraging nationally representative survey results and new transactional data from the U.S. Financial Health Pulse, we find that more people in America were Financially Healthy as of August 2020 than they were in 2019. Building upon the foundation of a strong pre-pandemic economy, it appears that an array of stimulus policies, debt relief measures, economic shutdowns, and consumer behavior changes have temporarily blunted the worst effects of the economic crisis for many people.
