This article explains how Social Security benefits are indexed and what older workers and retirees might expect from the program in the future.

HOT TOPIC: Why Watch the Employment Situation

Labor reports showed some signs of improvement in the second half of 2011. This article takes a closer look at the official reports that track employment, factors that held back job creation after the recession officially ended, and whether recent gains are enough to spark more robust growth.
