		<description><![CDATA[According to a report by U.S. PIRG, health care spending rose 56 percent from 2000 to 2006, versus an inflation rate of just 18 percent and wage increases of 20 percent.  This forced employers to choose between reducing benefits, limiting pay increases, and hiring fewer employees. Furthermore, shift workers represent 10 percent of the working population but they account for 17 percent of the health care costs. Zeroing in on this group of workers will provide an employer more bang for their health care buck.
