It is all well and good that efforts of the type described in this Bloomberg article about a recent MetLife survey will be developed and refined for the typical “employee” – but who’s going to help the “gig” worker to achieve the same “financial well-being” as the traditional “employee”?

Despite improved employment and economic conditions, according to the article, financial concerns among employees continue to grow, particularly for millennials, and they want these concerns addressed by their employers, according to a survey released April 4 by insurance company MetLife.

It found that almost half (44 percent) of millennials say they want their employer to help them solve their financial concerns, a response more than double that of employees from the baby boomer generation (20 percent). Similarly, three-fourths (75 percent) of millennials say their employers have a responsibility for the financial well-being of the workforce.
