Employee Participation

Most employers have made bad hires, which have led to major negative impacts for those companies, according to a study from CareerBuilder.

U.S. employers posted fewer job openings in March compared with February and slowed overall hiring, underscoring a weak month of job growth.

Many part-time employees report feeling confused about the Affordable Care Act and its impact, but employers are doing little to help bridge the information gap, according to a survey by The Workforce Institute at Kronos.

U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in April, and hiring was much stronger in the previous two months than the government first estimated. The job increases helped reduce the unemployment rate from 7.6 percent to a four-year low of 7.5 percent.

With high patient loads, reduced staffs and rising stress levels, 34 percent of health care workers say they are ready to search for new employment this year.

Income, benefits security and ability to find employment are causing workers to worry more, according to the Harris Poll Jobs and Benefits Security Index.
