Many affluent Americans are inundating their advisors with questions about the tax bill. But employers need to pay attention to several areas that may affect some employees' pay and benefits too.
The share of older people in the workforce is higher than at any point since before the creation of Medicare. Even more older Americans might be out there working, though, if they were healthier and had better job prospects.
For plan sponsors, getting employees to save for retirement -- and save the right amount -- can be hard. Here's what the experts say, even though they don't agree.
The richest people in the U.S. arent just getting several years of extra life, theyre also reaping a financial reward for their longevity courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.
The spring time change results in a loss of an hour of sleep. It might not seem like a big deal, but researchers have found car accidents, strokes, and heart attacks spike in the days after the March time change.
