Online Job search website CareerBuilder recently took a survey of close to 4,500 American workers.

According to the results, just about 80% of people who are not looking for jobs, but instead, have jobs, said that they are currently living from paycheck to paycheck. The 80% number is an extremely large jump from last years survey. Last year, only 22% of Americans were living from paycheck to paycheck.

On top of these results, 1/2 of those surveyed said that they are currently limiting their leisurely activities, such as going out to eat, going to sporting events, movies, etc.

This CareerBuilder study really puts a light on how the majority of the U.S. is dealing with the economical downturn.

Just when you thought you were alone in your struggles, you realize that you are the vast majority. These numbers were only based on those who already had jobs.
