- U.S. workers are staying in unwanted jobs for health insurance
23 million U.S. workers are experiencing job lock, staying in unwanted jobs to avoid losing health insurance, according to a Gallup analysis. Women and those with chronic health conditions are most affected, with factors like medical debt and financial burden contributing to job retention. The Trump administration's decision to not extend Affordable Care subsidies led 5 million Americans to drop insurance in 2026.
