INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Here’s a look at some of Friday’s business headlines.
Health care
One in three employees reported an increase in their health care spending this year, according to a survey released Thursday by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
The typical family of four covered by an occupational health plan is expected to see costs increase by 8% this year from 2020, according to a Milliman Medical Index.
Twitter is testing new prompts on iOS and Android that alert you before jumping into a conversation that might heat up.
In one example, there is a prompt inserted directly into an ongoing conversation that says “conversations like this can be intense”.
The prompts are the company’s latest attempt to reduce harassment and persistent abuse on the platform.
Diesel
The United States could head into winter with the lowest inventories of heating oil to meet growing demand for more than two decades.
Stocks of distillates – used as diesel for transportation and heating oil – are sufficient to meet 31 days of demand, according to the Energy Information Administration.
It’s the tightest it has been for this time of year since 2020.
Works
Friday is employment reporting day.
U.S. employers likely hired at a higher rate in September after a disappointing August, with more people returning to the workforce.
The Labor Department is expected to release its September employment report on Friday.
Five hundred thousand jobs are expected to have been created and the unemployment rate is expected to reach 5.1%.
