Half of people under 45 group would consider leaving their full-time jobs if gig work included benefits.
Forty-three percent of people 25 or younger say that they already lost a job because of AI.
Nearly a quarter of women shared that they have not received a pay raise at all within the past 12 months, according to the study.
Tough markets in 2022 caused average balances to fall across industries, but some sectors managed to outperform significantly, according to Judy Diamond's 401(k) Benchmark Report.
Last week, the Federal Trade Commission, Justice Department, and the Department of Health and Human Services launched an easily accessible online portal for the public to report health care practices that may harm competition.
After UnitedHealth was a no-show at the House hearing last week on the Change Healthcare cyberattack, UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty is now scheduled to testify before a House panel on May 1.
Best Practices
Empowering appointment setters for success
Here's how to transform your appointment setters into lead-generating machines through a strategic marketing perspective.
In this episode, Jon Shooshani discusses the concept of lifestyle spending accounts (LSAs) and their impact on health and wellbeing.
Compliance with the CAA is now top of mind for health plan sponsors that need to elevate their fiduciary responsibilities.
By combining AI and predictive analytics, you enable a more reliable, less biased algorithm that, over time, opens the world of compensation up to endless possibilities for a better future.
