Financial Literacy Center Offers Webinar for Personal Finance Journalists

This webinar presents findings from top researchers in the field of financial literacy, detailing what Americans know and still need to learn about managing their money, and what can be done to teach them. It offers a preview of emerging findings from two years of research by the Financial Literacy Center (FLC) — a joint center of the RAND Corporation, Dartmouth College, and the Wharton School funded by the Social Security Administration.
