Harris poll for Guardian finds people reconsidering major life events such as having children or buying a home

Americans are reconsidering major life events including marriage, having children and buying a home amid economic anxiety in the opening months of the Trump presidency, according to an exclusive poll for the Guardian.

Six in 10 Americans said the economy has affected at least one of their major life goals, according to the Harris poll, citing either lack of affordability or anxiety around the current economy.

Though Donald Trump’s tariff policies have only been in place for a few weeks, and though he has temporarily walked back on some of his harshest policies, the findings are a sign that Trump’s economic agenda could have long-term effects.

    Got any lawyers?

    I got fired in retaliation for asking for accommodations and pointing out Title 9 violations. That’s not supposed to happen, but lawyers don’t work for free.

    Just like your spouse isn’t supposed to be able to kick you out, refuse to file for divorce and drain your bank account. But justice in America costs money.

      You need to find lawyers in your area that specialize in employment law. They’ll usually work on contingency. They’d hardly ever have any cases at all if they didn’t.

      It helps if you have something like old emails for proof that you asked.
