For workers that have a 401k, their total savings rate reached about 14.5%.

That is the contribution from both employees and employers, and a record rate according to Fidelity.

Mike Shamrell is vice president of thought leadership at Fidelity Investments.

Fidelity did report some signs of financial stress.

Two and a half percent of workers with retirement accounts dipped into their savings last quarter, a slight increase from a year earlier.
