"[R]esearchers found that the cost of employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) health care benefits increased much faster than workers' wages since the late 1980s, and likely reduced wages by an average of about $9,000 per year by 2019. They also found that the percentage of worker compensation going toward premiums was substantially higher for Black and Hispanic workers and lower-income workers, and likely contributed to income inequality."
