Canadians Are Stressing Over Money And It’s Costing Businesses Billions
Nearly one-quarter of nearly 4,285 employed people surveyed said they agreed or strongly agreed that stress about personal finances had an impact on their performance at work, with about 70 per cent indicating such matters occupy up to 30 minutes of a typical work day.
And about 43 per cent of respondents agreed that “stress related to personal finances has had an impact on my workplace performance.”
The rising costs of living and overwhelming debt were among the biggest sources of stress identified by the online survey conducted by Framework Partners between April 24 and June 18.
