Voya Financial launched America's Financial Confidence Index, a new nationwide benchmark from a survey of 4,097 employed, benefits-eligible Americans. The index finds workers scored 67 out of 100 on financial confidence versus 62 on financial behaviors, a five-point 'confidence gap' that workplace financial education appears best positioned to close. Employees who actively use workplace financial education scored 71 on behaviors versus 59 for those who don't, outperforming every other group measured including the wealthiest workers.
