U.S. workers are more nervous about unemployment this summer than they were a year ago, according to analysts at Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.
The percentage of workers who said they fear losing their jobs has increased to 27%, from 11%, the analysts report in a summary of results from an online survey of 1,019 U.S. adults ages 18 to 64. Hartford commissioned the survey to investigate participants’ views on time-off and income security.
About 56% of the participants said they plan to use all of their paid time off from work this year, up from 48% in 2008, but many participants said they fear the state of the economy might force them to postpone vacations.
