“An increasing number of adults are slogging through jobs they don’t like solely because they don’t want to lose their health insurance,” Stat reports.
“This phenomenon — known as ‘job lock’ — has existed in the U.S. workforce for decades. The worry of losing health benefits inhibits the ability for people, especially those with more health problems or complex conditions, to switch jobs or careers. Economists have also said job lock prevents people from starting their own businesses.”
