VERBATIM:
High prices for groceries, housing and health care persist as a fear for many households, while rising electricity bills and the cost of gas at the pump are also sources of anxiety, according to the survey.

Some 47% of U.S. adults are “not very” or “not at all confident” they could find a good job if they wanted to, an increase from 37% when the question was last asked in October 2023.

Electricity bills are a “major” source of stress for 36% of U.S. adults. Just more than one-half said the cost of groceries are a “major” source of financial stress, and about 4 in 10 said the cost of housing and health care were a serious strain. About one-third said they were feeling high stress about gas prices.
