- With the holiday season approaching and a new year on the horizon, more households believe that the American dream is out of reach than five years ago, according to a new survey.
- The latest State of the American Family survey released by MassMutual this month found that more than two in five Americans, or 42%, believe the American dream is out of reach.
- That is a 9-point increase relative to 2018 and similar to the survey’s findings in 2013, when the U.S. economy was in the midst of a sluggish recovery from the financial crisis and Great Recession.
