MetLife Study Reveals That The American Dream Is Still Alive, Yet The Erosion Of Corporate Benefit Programs And Social Safety Nets Has Put The Dream A

A new study commissioned by MetLife reveals that the American dream is still alive yet the erosion of corporate benefit programs and social safety nets has put pursuit and attainment of the dream at great risk. The MetLife Study of the American Dream reveals that the dream is being propped up by American optimism; while a majority (66%) of Americans feel they have yet to achieve the dream, they remain optimistic about the future and feel it's still possible to achieve the American dream in their lifetime (67%). The study, unveiled today at a National Press Club briefing hosted by MetLife, a leading insurance and financial services company, reveals that working Americans are deeply engaged in what can be characterized as a "chase" of the dream.
