    Stacker, Sarah Conlisk for Lyft|Updated Mar 29, 2025

    Twenty-one percent of adults without access to a vehicle or public transit went without needed medical care in 2022. It's a sobering stat that points at a real problem: Unlike online shopping or dinner delivery, people need to get to health care to actually receive it. This is trickier in regions where essential medical services are hard to reach, often called "medical deserts." In these areas, even routine medical visits can become ordeals. Take the simple act of picking up...

The most recent U.S. government data showed a 53% increase in egg prices over the past year, the largest annual jump in two years.

Three-quarters of Americans are very concerned over the cost of food and consumer goods, according to a Pew Research...

  • Why sizzling cities are mapping hot spots street by street

    Stacker, Ula Chrobak for Knowable Magazine|Updated Mar 29, 2025

    The city of Reno, Nevada, is breaking records in ways it doesn't like: A 2024 analysis of 241 cities showed that Reno has heated up faster than any other city in the United States.

  • Power bills are America's #2 biggest financial stressor-right behind rent

    Stacker, Natalie Rizk for Arbor|Updated Mar 29, 2025

    When it comes to household financial stress, it's no surprise that rent or mortgage payments top the list. But what may surprise you is that in a recent survey conducted by Arbor, electricity costs ranked as the second-most stressful household expense, outpacing credit card debt, car payments, and even insurance. In fact, for 62.8% of Americans in the southern U.S., power bills are a major source of financial stress. This is just behind rent/mortgage payments, but it far...

  • Could Trump's new HUD create homeless detention camps? Here's what we know

    Stacker, Roshan Abraham for Next City|Updated Mar 29, 2025

    In January, Louisiana state troopers, alongside other state agencies, swept homeless encampments in downtown New Orleans and bused over 100 people to an industrial warehouse away from the city center in an effort to hide the city's homelessness crisis from Super Bowl tourists. The Louisiana governor's office told the Associated Press that people weren't forced to go to the center, but had to leave their encampment or could be arrested. But an unhoused person named Christopher...

  • Los Angeles County Residents have Automatic Tax Extensions And Need Not File For One With the IRS

    Stacker, Tony Molina, CPA, for Range|Updated Mar 28, 2025

    The article about income tax return extensions is misleading: the IRS and CA Franchise Tax Board POSTPONED for every resident of LA County all income tax returns and all income tax payments due between January 7 and October 15 until October 15. While an extension request may be advisable in some circumstances, it is simply not required (for LA County Residents), and there will be no penalty or interest assessed for the postponed filing and payment.--Kip Dellinger, CPA With...

  • Who are the 26 million Americans without health insurance?

    Stacker, Evan Wyloge|Updated Mar 25, 2025

    Many ominous ills are likely curable, especially if you have insurance. Without it, patients can find themselves facing life-threatening consequences, as physician Ricardo Nuila, an associate professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, told Public Health Watch. Nuila had a stage 1 cancer patient who lost his insurance just as he was to receive treatment. "Without insurance, [my patient] was given the run-around for months by his doctors," Nuila said. By...

    Stacker, Hadley Mendelsohn for Hers|Updated Mar 25, 2025

    Life can get incredibly busy, and keeping up often hinges on having enough energy. But energy isn't always in high supply, leaving many wondering how to boost their energy. Recent data from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) revealed that 13.5 percent of U.S. adults feel exhausted most days—and among women, it's closer to 20 percent.

  • How businesses can navigate the challenges of 'tipflation'

    Stacker, Shari Simpson for Paylocity|Updated Mar 25, 2025

    Tipping culture in the U.S. has undergone a dramatic transformation. What was once a voluntary gesture of appreciation has evolved into an expectation, often leaving customers frustrated, employees financially uncertain, and businesses struggling to manage the implications. As tipping practices expand into new industries and digital payment platforms increase gratuity prompts, consumers must adapt to a new norm. The phenomenon known as "tipflation"—or "tip creep"—has cre...

  • Why workplace disconnection is driving turnover-and how companies can fix it

    Stacker, Dennis S. Holland for Quantum Connections|Updated Mar 25, 2025

    As workplaces become more complex, companies have tried to improve employee retention through higher salaries, better benefits, and flexible work arrangements. But despite these efforts, turnover remains a significant challenge. A 2024 Gallup report found that only 23% of employees worldwide feel engaged at work, with U.S. businesses losing an estimated $1 trillion annually due to voluntary turnover. Meanwhile, workplace stress has reached record highs—41% of employees say t...

  • As anxiety and isolation take a toll on employee mental health, here's how managers improve workplace culture

    Stacker, Elena Cox|Updated Mar 25, 2025

    As more Americans become aware of the importance of mental health, work-life balance has become a priority for many working individuals. This makes sense, considering Americans working a traditional 40-hour workweek spend nearly 2,000 hours at work annually. Technological advances like smartphones, email, and work-messaging platforms have allowed for near-constant contact between bosses and employees. At the same time, the rise of remote work and working with colleagues...

  • You might be a landlord (and not even know it)

    Stacker, Ryan Squires for TurboTenant|Updated Mar 25, 2025

    Ask people who rent out rooms in their homes what they call themselves, and you're unlikely to hear the term "landlord." That's because many people who rent rooms think of their tenants as "roommates." For room renters and house hackers (those who intentionally rent out one or more rooms to cover expenses), the arrangement doesn't feel like a traditional landlord-tenant relationship where the landlord lives in a separate residence. The two share the same property, TurboTenant...

  • How a tribe won a legal battle against the federal Bureau of Indian Education - and still lost

    Stacker, Neal Morton for The Hechinger Report|Updated Mar 14, 2025

    Kambria Siyuja always felt like the smartest kid in Supai, Arizona. Raised by educators in this tribal village at the base of the Grand Canyon, she started kindergarten a little ahead of her peers. Her teachers at Havasupai Elementary School often asked Siyuja to tutor younger students and sometimes even let her run their classrooms. She graduated valedictorian of her class. But once she left the K-8 school at the top of her grade, Siyuja stopped feeling so smart. "I didn't...

  • Fish are thriving in the river Seine

    Stacker, Peter Yeung for Reasons to be Cheerful|Updated Mar 14, 2025

    On a damp and grimly grey winter day in Paris, Bill François is a beacon of positivity. After a brief stroll along the River Seine, he comes to a halt at the Henri IV Dock with Notre Dame Cathedral just about visible through the mist. Here, François flicks his wrist back and then gently launches a fishing line out into the choppy waters. "The Seine is a wild place in the heart of Paris," enthuses François, who has come prepared in an all-weather outfit that includes a cap, su...

  • 'This business just wouldn't exist': Farmer says federal program was critical to success

    Stacker, Claire Carlson for The Daily Yonder|Updated Mar 14, 2025

    At more than 5,000 feet elevation, Lotspeich Family Farm in rural Deeth, Nevada, boasts a surprising variety of produce for the middle of winter. In their greenhouse, fruits like peppers and lemons are growing, and out under the hoop houses—large, cylindrical structures that offer the plants some protection from the cold—swiss chard and the remainder of last year's spinach grow despite the sub-zero temperatures winter in the high desert brings. Come spring and summer, the amo...

  • 5 narcissistic pop culture characters-and what experts say about them

    Stacker, Kayla Levy|Updated Mar 14, 2025

    Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a relatively rare personality disorder, but it's entered the cultural zeitgeist as a catch-all term for self-absorbed, manipulative behavior. So, it's no surprise that many characters in pop culture are described as narcissistic, even though not all of them meet the criteria for the disorder. While the term "narcissism" is often overused, it offers a lens through which to examine the dynamics of power, control, and emotional...
