updates: The Federal Reserve's Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking reveals that 54% of U.S. adults have enough savings to cover three months of expenses if they lost their primary source of income. The pandemic has had a significant impact on savings, with Americans exhausting their accumulated pandemic savings and the personal saving rate dropping below 5% of disposable income. Different groups, such as Black adults, people aged 45 to 59, younger adults, people without a college degree, Black and Hispanic Americans, people in rural areas, and parents with children at home, are less likely to have emergency savings set aside.
