What benefits professionals think about the election
According to exclusive research conducted by Employee Benefit News' parent company, Arizent, 71% of survey respondents in a variety of professional services industries said they are very dissatisfied with the current political climate, while just 1% said they were very satisfied. There are a few hot topics that will impact employers and employees alike, depending on who takes the White House in November. Our data found that 20% of employers think reproductive rights in the wake of Roe v. Wade is the most urgent issue for the next administration and Congress to address, while financial issues like the economy and economic inequality were a top concern for 46% and 16% of those surveyed, respectively.
