Query:
Hi, all!
We just did a survey on debt and I've pasted the results below.
I am looking for expert comments on the results. Any insights
you might have regarding the "whys" of how people might have
responded would be just perfect. Thanks much in advance!
SURVEY RESULTS
55% of northeasterners who added to their credit card debt since
March blame the pandemic, compared with 32% of Midwesterners,
43% of southerners and 45% of westerners. 63% of credit card
debtors said a lack of additional stimulus money from the
government would have had an effect on their ability to make at
least their minimum credit card payments over the next 3 months
(38% major effect + 25% minor effect). 77% of millennial
credit card debtors say they would have been affected by this
(49% major + 28% minor), along with 73% of people with annual
household incomes below $40,000 (48% major + 25% minor) 68% of
women and 57% of men would have been affected (major effect:
women 42%, men 34%) 66% of credit card debtors said being
unable to work now or in the future will affect their ability to
make at least their minimum credit card payments in the next 3
months (50% major + 15% minor) 84% of millennials, 81% of Gen
Xers, just 52% of boomers 64% of credit card debtors believe a
continued surge in nationwide COVID-19 cases will affect their
ability to make at least their minimum credit card payments in
the next 3 months (38% major + 27% minor) 54% of credit card
debtors say their ability to make minimum credit card payments
will be affected if a successful COVID-19 vaccine is not widely
available by June 2021 (28% major + 26% minor) 70% of U.S.
adults have personal debt (39% credit card debt, 25% mortgage,
23% auto loan/lease, 16% student loan). 48% of boomers, 47% of
Gen Xers and 33% of millennials have credit card debt. Credit
card debt is most common in the $40,000 - $80,000 income bracket
(48%). You're more likely to have credit card debt if your
annual household income is $80,000+ (40%) than if it's under
$40,000 (36%). 64% of debtors believe they will be debt-free
within 10 years, including 48% who think they'll be debt-free
within 5 years and 14% who will be debt-free within 1 year.
29% of debtors think it will take more than 10 years, including
7% who never expect to be debt-free. Another 7% don't know when
they will be debt-free. 13% of student loan debtors never
think they will be debt-free, higher than any other type of debt.

how new tools can be harnessed to retain women, and re-engage
those who have been out of the workforce for years.
I'm looking to speak with a woman working in the private sector

from her employer providing tools/technology that's made working

the pandemic, but has had to leave a job due to caregiving
responsibilities c) has been out of the workforce for a long
time, but is looking for work again and can speak to tools that
have made the transition easier d) or is weighing the decision
to stay or leave a job right now due to pressures of the
pandemic.
I'm looking for an anecdotal example of this experience, rather
than an expert/academic perspective. Thank you!
