U.S. workers are becoming more stressed about their rising personal debts and financial health, a Bank of America survey showed.

Nearly 85% of consumers carried some type of personal debt, while 26% of the workforce was seeking help in areas such as emergency savings, paying down debt, and overall financial wellness, compared with 13% in 2023, according to the May survey of more than 1,000 people working full-time.
