According to Human Resources Executive Online, it appears workers are dipping into their 401(k) to pay off bills!
The report says nearly one in three employees say they took a hardship loan from their 401(k) last year, and that's up from one in four in 2011.
So, who's behind employees raiding their retirement savings? According to Financial Finesse, women, lower-income workers (those making between $35,000 and $60,000) and younger workers (aged 30-44) needed the money, despite the improving job market.
