Question of the Week

Question:
What percent of Americans do not receive a steady paycheck?

Answer:
30%

Questions to think about:

• What are ways that workers can “smooth over” those periods where they are earning a smaller paycheck?

• If this is the “new normal” for employment, how should you think about your largest fixed monthly expenses (rent, car payment, etc.)?

• What are some “side hustles” people do to supplement their incomes?
