Earn an Average Salary? Covering Your Health Spending Will Take 58.3 Workdays
The Washington Post; subscription may be required Link to more items from this source
Dec. 23, 2012
"We usually think about the growth in health care spending in straight dollars, the number put toward medicine from one year to the next.... Right now, the average worker needs to work nearly two months of eight-hour work days -- 58.3 days, to be exact -- to purchase the average amount of health care spending. Back in 1958, that number stood at 14.8 days. This is really different ... from items like washers and dryers, or music players, where there's been a significant decline in the number of work days."
