Business Insider Explores Why Americans Over 80 Continue Working

Business Insider has conducted an extensive investigation into why a significant number of Americans continue to work past the age of 80. Through nearly 200 interviews, the publication has gathered insights into the motivations and circumstances that lead these individuals to remain in the workforce. The project, titled '80 over 80,' includes over 20 stories and a short documentary video. The findings reveal that older workers are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. labor force. Many of these individuals express a need to work due to financial necessity, a desire to avoid a sedentary lifestyle, or simply because they still feel energetic and capable. The project aims to shed light on the personal stories and broader trends affecting this demographic.

Financial Advisors Urge Holiday Discussions on Long-Term Care Planning Amid Rising Costs

Financial Advisors Urge Holiday Discussions on Long-Term Care Planning Amid Rising Costs

Financial advisors are encouraging families to discuss long-term care planning during the holiday season, a time when families often gather and can have meaningful conversations. According to OneAmerica Financial, there is a 20% increase in long-term care claims during November and December, suggesting that the holidays are a natural time for these discussions. Despite the importance of planning, only 3% of Americans over age 50 have long-term care insurance, even though 56% of those turning 65 will need some form of long-term care. The costs can be significant, with average out-of-pocket expenses reaching $140,000. Advisors emphasize the importance of having a plan in place to avoid financial and emotional strain on families.

Revised AAP Guidelines Reduce Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia Interventions Without Increasing Readmissions

Revised AAP Guidelines Reduce Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia Interventions Without Increasing Readmissions

A recent study evaluated the impact of the 2022 revised American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines on the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Conducted at a single birth hospital with a level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the study compared data from two periods: one year before and one year after the implementation of the new guidelines. The study included 1,577 infants born at 35 weeks or more gestational age. The findings revealed a 6.6% decrease in hyperbilirubinemia diagnoses, an 8.4% reduction in phototherapy use before discharge, and a 4% decrease in the number of total serum bilirubin (TSB) checks in the first week of life. Importantly, these reductions did not lead to an increase in post-discharge clinic visits or readmissions for hyperbilirubinemia.

ECB must be vigilant about some upside risks to inflation, Kazimir says
