Eleven million employed adults are expected to come down with the flu this year resulting in an average of four days of missed work each and an accumulated $9 billion in lost productivity.
While people are still following the same basic timeline for financial accomplishments, millennials are getting to some goals at different times than earlier generations.
According to the National Business Group on Health, just three percent of large self-insured employers contract directly with an accountable-care organization for health care, but those that do are reaping the benefits.
While analyzing nearly 300 different retirement income strategies, researchers devised 8 metrics to help retirees and planners compare different retirement income solutions as they seek to annuitize retirement savings.
While they regard it as the most critical issue in the nation, U.S. workers rate the health care system poorly, according to a new study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute and Greenwald & Associates.
While opinion is divided about just how many jobs will disappear, and at which skill levels, the end result is that a lot of jobs are going to vanishand they wont be coming back.
Senator Elizabeth Warren threw down the gauntlet to insurers in a speech on Thursday: they need new rules to hold them accountable to Americans health care needs.
