TELUS Mental Health Index: Cost of Living is Top Financial Worry Among US Workers
A Q2 2026 report from TELUS Health reveals that financial anxiety, particularly around the cost of living, is significantly impacting workplace productivity in the United States. The study shows that nearly two-thirds (64%) of workers experience money-related stress, with one in seven reporting a negative impact on their job performance. The data highlights a growing concern over retirement benefits literacy, as 46% of US employees do not fully understand the plans they contribute to each month. Additionally, younger workers and caregivers are disproportionately affected by financial strain, which is linked to declining productivity across various sectors.
