Additionally, each year the survey contains a special section on topics that are "hot" in the industry. Previous surveys have included industry trends in employee benefits, office technology, and others. This year's special section focused on what many insiders believe is the most important issue facing the industry - no, not the economy - State Legislative and Regulatory Actions.
