Workers: Health Insurance Most Important Benefit

The following is a newly posted press release by th Employee Benefit Research Institution (EBRI).

Employers seeking to recruit new college graduates this summer can be very confident of one fact: Health insurance remains, by far, the most popular benefit they can offer prospective workers.

A study conducted by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute shows that workers rate health insurance the most important benefit they receive by a margin of more than 5 to 1 (60 percent to 17 percent).

Furthermore, the study found employers that do not offer health insurance may have difficulty attracting and retaining skilled workers.
