U.S. workers grew more confident about their job security and personal finances last month, according to a survey on Wednesday by staffing company Hudson Highland Group Inc. The number of workers reporting improved personal finances rose for the third consecutive month, the survey found. A large majority of workers, 73 percent, said they were not worried about losing their jobs.
