Forty-two percent of workers reveal they typically or always live paycheck to paycheck, which is an improvement from 43 percent in 2010 and in line with the pre-recessions levels of 2007, according to a recent nationwide survey of more than 5,200 workers by CareerBuilder.
The amount of workers who missed a bill payment fell to 20 percent for a slight improvement from 22 percent at this time in 2010.
Workers making six-figure salaries also are seeing improvements, with 14 percent of those respondents saying they live paycheck to paycheck, a decline from 17 percent in 2010. Only 6 percent say they can't make ends meet every month, which is an improvement from 8 percent last year.
