- Roughly 23 million Americans trapped in jobs they want to leave over one costly ...
Nearly one in four American workers with employer-sponsored health insurance say they are stuck in jobs they want to leave because they fear losing coverage.About 24% of U.S. workers with job-based insurance – roughly 23 million adults – are experiencing "job lock," up sharply from 16% in 2021, according to a report from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America.The survey defines job lock as remaining in a job despite wanting to leave due to concerns about losing health insurance."Job lock is on the rise in America," the report noted. "Nearly a quarter of U.S. employees report staying in a job they want to leave to keep their health insurance, a powerful constraint on worker mobility, productivity, entrepreneurship and wage growth."The surge comes as soaring healthcare costs squeeze household budgets.

We decided to be bold. We said we want to open a national and international chain of restaurants," Rosenfield told Fox News Digital.With its Original BBQ Chicken Pizza and polished approach to casual dining, California Pizza Kitchen helped popularize California-style pizza among diners across the U.S. and eventually around the world. The chain became a household name while helping bring a distinctive, California-inspired approach to pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts.FUDDRUCKERS BECAME THE 'BLOCKBUSTER' OF BURGERS, AND NOW IT'S NEARLY GONECalifornia Pizza Kitchen has more than 120 restaurants in 10 countries. But at one point, CPK existed only in a single storefront on South Beverly Drive.Rosenfield recalled the restaurant's early days in Beverly Hills as "hectic," with actress Shirley MacLaine becoming its first customer on opening day."Even before we opened, we knew we had a blockbuster on our hand. We created barbecue chicken pizza. And in the early days of CPK, it was complete craziness. Everybody was coming for barbecue chicken pizza," said Rosenfield. His book, "The California Pizza Kitchen Story: How Two Federal Prosecutors Changed the Way America Eats Pizza," was released July 21.Rosenfield and Flax employed a real estate strategy that helped expand CPK's reach, opening restaurants in and around shopping malls."CPK also had a hand in changing the way America eats because we were pioneers in going into upscale shopping centers around America at a time when… there was all fast food," Rosenfield said. "We brought this polished, casual dining to the best malls in America."After Rosenfield and Flax grew CPK to more than 200 locations worldwide, the pizza giant was acquired for $470 million by private equity firm Golden Gate Capital in 2011.'MCDONALD'S CHANGED THE COURSE OF MY LIFE': CONGRESSMAN SELLS BUSINESS HE BUILT SINCE HIS TEEN YEARSAt the time of the acquisition, the San Francisco-based firm described itself as "one of the most active acquirers of leading brands in the restaurant and retail sector."Nine years after Golden Gate Capital acquired the chain, CPK filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 30, 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic compounded its… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
