A new Heldrich Center Work Trends survey finds American workers in a state of anxiety – very concerned about jobs and feeling bleak about their economic future. The Anxious American Worker reports that many American workers fear that their jobs will move to another country, feel undervalued and underpaid, and worry that they may never be able to retire. Overall, the survey results paint a troubling picture of economic and job insecurity, framed by worry and uncertainty over what the future holds. Some key findings:
 
- Just over a third of Americans report having trouble making ends meet.

- One-third acknowledge concern over personal job security

- 30% of those in the labor force have more in temporary credit card debt than they do in permanent retirement savings

- Only 50% are working the number of hours they want to work

- 25% are dissatisfied with their health benefits
