Employees are feeling a little better about their finances.

A recent Financial Finesse report finds that financial stress levels has continued to decline as the economy improves. Only 16% of employees reported high or overwhelming financial stress levels during the first quarter of 2012 compared to 21% in 2011 and 30% in 2010. (See the infographic on the facing page for details.)

While stress levels have improved, the report suggested that doesn't necessarily mean they are more financially prepared.
