The Amazing Disappearing Benefits

If you're employed—especially if you're employed at a skilled, salaried job—you've got health insurance, right? Wrong. For the past three years, the number of Americans covered by employer-provider health insurance has declined—by 3.4 million this year alone. That means that "good" jobs—those that include benefits—are becoming fewer and farther between. A new report from the Economic Policy Institute analyzed the decline in health benefits among those who have jobs, and found that children and the lowest-income fifth of families were most likely to be affected.
