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...

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.

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...

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...

The study reveals while 86% of young people want to achieve the American dream, 60% doubt they will ever get there.

April 3, 2025 - MONTGOMERY, AL - You can never really be certain what the Alabama Legislature will do from one session to another. One thing that is always certain is that a dubious gambling bill creating a lottery and expanding the business of certain casinos will come up in the session and that eventually that piece of legislation will die at some point in the session. On Thursday it all happened within hours of each other. Alabama State Senator Greg Albritton (R-Range) released a public...
