Most white Americans say they can manage their housing costs; blacks and Hispanics are far less confident that they can keep up. Most of the rest say they’re in poor shape financially. About a quarter (27 per cent) say the economy will improve; just as many think it will stay the same. A majority of college graduates (58 per cent) say they’re very confident they could afford an emergency expense of $1,000. Though older Americans don’t feel as much job security, most of them do have the benefit of decades of income and savings.
