On January 31 CFED released the Assets & Opportunity Scorecard – the most comprehensive source of data on household financial security and policy solutions. The 2012 Scorecard assesses states across 101 outcome and policy measures in five areas to determine the ability of residents to achieve financial security. By many of those measures, Americans are struggling. It’s clear that the recession and its aftermath have left unprecedented numbers of families barely able to make ends meet.

During a webinar on January 31, speakers explained the Scorecard data and what it means. The PowerPoint from the webinar is available to download online. We’ve also created two short narrated presentations about the Scorecard:
