Mother's Day is just around the corner and millions of adult children will travel home for the holiday. However, an increasing number of adult children won't be traveling home—because they are already living at home with their parents. To better understand why and where adult children live with their parents, researchers at TruckInfo.net analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Federal Reserve. They found the following trends. Adult children are twice a...
When you ask most leaders about employee wellness, you'll likely hear a familiar story: The desire to support employee well-being is there, but delivering a program that's impactful, consistent, and engaging is a different story. Wellness programs often feel bolted on instead of baked in. They're another item on an already packed HR agenda. And despite offering gym reimbursements, employee assistance programs (EAPs), or mental health resources, many teams still struggle with participation and...

Gas prices have gone up by about 4 cents per gallon since this time last month but are still down by nearly 50 cents compared to this time last year. The national average fuel price is about $3.17, with Tyler, Texas, seeing the cheapest metro-area prices at $2.60 and Salinas, California, with the most expensive at $5.11. After issuing multiple pauses on tariffs against Canadian and Mexican imports since taking office, President Trump in early April announced a sweeping 10% baseline tariff on...
A measles outbreak involving hundreds of people across the country has put a spotlight on the role of vaccines in treating preventable diseases—especially as childhood vaccination rates have declined for several years. A school-aged child who was not vaccinated and had no known underlying conditions died from the outbreak, according to Texas health officials. Parents and caregivers, in particular mothers, make important health decisions for their families. Though it can impact people of d...
What would happen if your business was sued? You damage a client's property, one of your employees is injured on the job, a customer slips and falls in your store—that's all it takes. And then what? If a lawsuit is brought against you and a court finds your business liable, you'll need to pay up to "make things right." Those costs can be pretty pricey—and devastating—for a small business, NEXT explains. That's why many small businesses turn to insurance companies for liability insurance to he...
From sniffles in the winter to sunburns in the summer, every season brings its own set of minor health concerns—and with them, a steady stream of over-the-counter (OTC) medications into the family medicine cabinet. But how much is too much? What are parents really keeping on hand, and how often do they actually use it? In this article, SaveHealth takes a peek into America's medicine cabinets to understand what families are stocking, why they're stocking it, and what this means for both household...

A college education can be a costly undertaking. College Board data shows that four-year college students spent around $35,000 a year in tuition, housing, and other expenses at private nonprofit institutions and $20,000 at public ones, taking into account grants and financial aid. Although those numbers are much lower than the $60,000 per year price tag that private nonprofit colleges typically post, it still amounts to a lot of money. However, because of the daunting cost (not to mention...

If you take a stroll through a Pittsburgh city park, you might come across Hobo the donkey and his crew of 12 goats scrambling up an embankment or chowing down on poison ivy. Keep your dog on a leash, though, because Hobo doesn't like canines, and he takes his job as protector of the herd very seriously. If he senses danger, he will round everyone up, then stomp, kick and bite to deter any predator that he deems a threat to his pals and the job they've been commissioned to do. As Reasons to be C...
On March 15, three planes carrying approximately 200 Venezuelan migrants left the U.S., bound for a mega-prison in El Salvador. The Trump administration justified the deportation by saying most of the men on the planes were members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) criminal gang. Lawyers for some of the men say their clients were misidentified as gang members, in many cases, because of tattoos unrelated to TdA. In one case, a lawyer says the tattoo may have been a reference to the logo for the...

Young Americans are redefining the American dream, trading white picket fences for mental health and financial security, according to a new study from the University of California, Los Angeles. The study reveals while 86% of young people want to achieve the American dream, 60% doubt they will ever get there. It's not a lack of ambition but worries about money that stand in their way, LA Post reports. UCLA's Center for Scholars & Storytellers asked 1,500 people ages 14 to 27 about their hopes...
Every Friday at around 6 p.m., farmers in Greensboro, Vermont, descend on Tom Hill's barn to help out with the Friday evening milking session. As udders are emptied and beers popped open, they catch up on each other's families and talk about the joys and struggles of the vocation they share. The weekly gathering is a community tradition. The bonds between these farmers, formed over many decades and spanning multiple generations, have become even more precious as farms consolidate or close—farm n...

Jessica Maier, an art history professor at Mount Holyoke College and mother of three, realized about three years ago that something was missing—even though her days were always busy and close to bursting with tasks and responsibilities. "I felt like all I was doing was being stressed all the time, thinking about other people, like my kids, or working," she told Stacker. Remembering a pottery class she took years ago in high school, "on a whim," Maier signed up for a new class. "From the m...
Two white men in their 60s live hundreds of miles away from each other, one in Arizona and the other in Washington state. They are the same age and have identical socioeconomic backgrounds. They also have similar habits and are in roughly the same physical shape. But the man in Arizona is aging more quickly than the man in Washington — 14 months faster, to be exact. Neither man smokes or drinks. Both exercise regularly. So why is the subject living in the desert Southwest more than a year o...
