The Great Recession may have officially ended in 2009 but its effects are still being
felt in 2012. A recent CareerBuilder survey shows that 40%, or two-thirds, of the 3800 full-time workers assessed are still relying on their next paycheck to pay off their bills. The good news, however, is this is slightly lower than the 46% of job holders who were living paycheck to paycheck in 2008.Overall, the study shows that full-time workers are feeling more optimistic, and are better able to pay off their debts.
