Several national polls revealed older adults felt stress about money and many reported difficulties in paying expenses during 2021. Although such descriptive reports have raised awareness, peer-reviewed studies utilizing panel data can offer additional insight. As such, the purpose of this study was to contribute to this growing literature by examining the demographic, economic, and health factors associated with employment and the perceived risk of running out of money for middle-aged and older adults during the pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study utilized the April\u2013May 2020, April\u2013May 2021, and March 2022 waves of the Understanding America Study.
