The Economy as Viewed From Main Street:
No Recovery Yet, New Zogby Poll Reveals One in five has fears of
losing job in the coming year;
Same number earning less than previous job
The optimism of a rebounding economy hasn’t yet trickled down to Main
Street, USA, where 20% still say they are afraid they or someone in
their immediate family will lose a job within the next year.
And 21% say they are working at a job that pays less than an immediate
previous job.
The telephone poll of 1,001 likely voters nationwide was conducted
November 17-19, 2003 by Zogby International.
The margin of error for the Zogby America poll is ± 3.2 percentage
points, and margins are higher in sub-groups.
In a Clinton-era June 1999 Zogby poll, just one in ten (10%) feared
losing a job in the coming year, and the same number said they were
working at a job paying less than an immediate previous job.
Earlier this summer, 22% feared losing a job within the next year, and
19% said they were working for less than before.
The June 6, 2003 poll by Zogby International interviewed 1,012 likely
voters nationwide.
In the most recent polling, slightly more (24%) of people in the West
feared losing their job than those in the South (18%), East (19%), and
Central-Great Lakes area (21%).
High school graduates were more confident of not losing their job
within the year (85%), compared to just over three in four of those
with less than a high school education (78%), respondents with some
college education (78%) and those with a college or advanced degree
(79%).
The more they make, the more they fear losing their job
One-fourth (25%) of those with annual household income of $75,000 or
more fear losing their job within the next year, as do 22% of those in
the $50-75K range.
Just over one in five (21%) of those earning $25-50K fear a job loss
in the future, as do 17% of those earning $25K or less.
