AGP Executive Report

Last update: 33 minutes ago

Retirement shake-up: Philadelphia voters approved the nation’s first city-run automatic retirement plan, PhillySaves, requiring many employers without benefits to enroll workers in an IRA unless they opt out—part of a broader push as millions lack workplace savings. Cost of living map: A new analysis ranks Hawaii as the priciest place to retire comfortably (about $156,610 a year), with California, Massachusetts and Rhode Island also among the most expensive. Rhode Island politics: State Rep. Brian C. Newberry drew fresh attention with social media posts mixing local election talk and criticism of state responses to ACLU lawsuits. Workplace risk: A new map shows Wyoming’s workplace fatality rate far higher than Rhode Island’s, underscoring how danger clusters in certain industries. Local business & health: Hasbro says it has spent nearly $1 billion on “core games” since 2018, while Beacon Mutual faces a class-action after a ransomware-linked data breach. Sports: Seattle Reign ended a winless skid with a 2-1 win over Boston Legacy in Rhode Island’s first NWSL match.
