Online brokerages and low-fee mobile trading apps have lowered the barriers to entry for those looking to dip a toe in the markets. In fact, a 2020 study from Pew Research found that more than half (52%) of U.S. households are invested in the stock market, including 66% of households earning between $53,000 and $99,999.
