[full-text,13 pages]
According to data from a new nationally representative study of women
who gave birth in 2001, the speed of a woman's return to work
after the birth of a child was influenced by many factors, including family
structure, education, age, birth history, and race/ethnicity, but the strongest
factor was whether or not the woman had been working prior to the birth.
Employers' health insurance cost burden, 19962005
Christine Eibner and M. Susan Marquis
http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/06/art3full.pdf
[full-text, 17 pages]
Data from the Employment Cost Index show that health insurance
costs relative to payroll increased 34 percent between 1996 and 2005
and that the increase was largest for businesses paying low wages;
simultaneously, data from the Employee Benefits Survey
show that benefit packages became less generous, yet cost growth
was not paralleled by a commensurate decrease in employer offers.
