What to know about credit card travel insurance as an Air Canada strike looms
After carefully planning a summer vacation, the last thing on your mind should be finding alternate transportation. But some travellers could be left scrambling as the clock ticks down to a possible work stoppage at Air Canada. The airline says it will gradually suspend its flights starting Thursday after the union representing the airline's 10,000 flight attendants and the airline itself issued 72-hour strike and lockout notices, respectively. They are set to take effect around 1 a.m. ET on Saturday. It can be challenging for customers who are stuck in the crossfire, dealing with delays and cancellations. But travellers may be in luck if they booked their tickets with a credit card that has built-in travel insurance — with one caveat. "You have to make sure that when you're booking it, it isn't past the date where many of (the credit card companies) would view it as a known event," said Will McAleer, executive director of the Travel Health Insurance Association. That means as long as the tickets were booked before a potential labour dispute became apparent, the credit card travel insurance would cover it under their trip cancellation policy, McAleer explained. If the ticket was booked via credit card after the strike became foreseeable, the disruption-related costs wouldn't be covered, he added. But it's important to read the fine print of your credit card's travel insurance policy, said Natasha Macmillan, senior business director of everyday banking at Macmillan said consumers need to double-check if labour dispute-related cancellations or delays are covered. Often, the travel policy would specify exclusions such as delays caused by government actions, a pandemic or labour disruption. She said labour dispute coverage can also vary depending on the card type and card provider. For example, some high-end credit cards may cover disruptions from labour strikes even when the tickets were booked after it became a foreseeable event. Macmillan said travellers should also understand their coverage limits and payout rules. "There tend to be very specific requirements," she said. For example, some credit card travel insurance may cover up to $5,000 for a trip cancellation, while other cards may have a lower limit. Besides the maximum coverage, McAleer said travellers need to determine if the policy is sufficient for the trip — is it less than or more than what you've paid per traveller. Consumers also need to make sure they meet the terms and conditions of the credit card policy, which could include paying for a large portion of the trip through the credit card, he added. McAleer said if there's a trip interruption when a traveller is already in transit, the airlines usually provide some services, such as meals and hotel stays. During labour disruptions, Steven Harris, a licensed insurance broker and expert, said while passengers are generally entitled to reimbursement for accommodations, meals and rebooking, airlines are not obligated to compensate for additional costs such as prepaid hotel bookings unless they are specifically covered by the airline's policy or a travel insurance policy. Air Canada has said customers affected by flight cancellations will be eligible for a full refund. It has also made arrangements with other carriers to provide alternative options, but warns it could take time to secure capacity given other airlines are already full due to the summer travel peak. Experts say credit card insurance policies come down to understanding the coverage and doing your homework ahead of time. "We all know there's a reasonable chance this could happen," he said. "If I was travelling on those days and likely going to be impacted over that time, I would make that call." McAleer said it's important to double-check with the credit card administrator to see if the policy covers labour strikes. "I'd want to call my credit card issuer and see what my protection was likely going to do," he said. "Prepare yourself for any surprise."

These jobs are hiring, despite a weak job market
The labor market slowed sharply this summer, leaving job applicants with fewer places to turn for a new position. Employers added an average of about 35,000 jobs over three months ending in July, which marks a major slowdown from roughly 128,000 jobs added monthly over the prior three months, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said earlier this month. The hiring cooldown has hit nearly every industry, including manufacturing, leisure and hospitality and the federal government. But two industries have bucked the trend: Health care and social assistance, the latter of which comprises services like child care and counseling, economists told ABC News. If not for job growth in those two sectors, the labor market would have suffered net job losses over the past three months. MORE: Trump admin live updates: Trump and Putin to meet at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson "This is a job market where growth is very thin," Daniel Zhao, chief economist at job-posting site Glassdoor, told ABC News. "Unfortunately, there aren't many industries growing consistently and robustly." "The job market is being propped up by health care and social assistance," Zhao added. Health care The health care sector added 55,000 jobs in July, which amounted to three of every four jobs added across the U.S. economy last month, BLS data showed. The performance in July extended robust growth that stretches back several years, economists said. "There's clearly an industry that stands out right now and that would be health care," Cory Stahle, an economist at Indeed Hiring Lab, told ABC News. The gangbusters hiring in the health care sector owes to two overlapping trends, economists said: persistent demand for health care from an aging population and ongoing recovery from job losses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike discretionary costs like luxury goods or restaurant dining, health care services are a necessity taken up by consumers regardless of financial conditions, economists said. "Health care is a non-optional industry," Stahle said. "If you need health care, you need health care." As the baby-boomer generation has aged, a growing share of people have experienced such healthcare needs. Between 2012 and 2050, the population of older people – aged 65 and above – is expected to nearly double from about 43 million to 83 million, the U.S. Census Bureau found in 2014. Robust consumer demand has coincided with a shortage of workers in the aftermath of widespread job losses as health care professionals suffered burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. While overall employment in the sector has recovered to pre-pandemic levels, the new workers have been unevenly distributed, leaving shortages at workplaces such as skilled nursing facilities and intensive behavioral health centers, researchers at the University of Michigan found in June. "We do expect job growth in health care to continue as the U.S. population ages and demand for health services continues to rise," Zhao said. Social assistance Social assistance, the provision of support and emergency relief services, makes up the other bright spot in the job market. The sector added 18,000 jobs in July, accounting for nearly one of every four jobs added last month, BLS data showed. A subset of the sector, referred to by the descriptor "individual and family services," accounted for all of the jobs added in July. Such work is made up of counseling, welfare and referral services. MORE: Who is E.J. Antoni, Trump's pick to lead the BLS? Employers have continued to hire for therapist roles, despite a slowdown in the wider job market, Stahle said, citing job postings on Indeed. If the economy tips into a recession, the industry will likely continue to grow, since a larger share of the population would need assistance in the event of financial hardship, Zhao said. "This is a sector that grows even during bad times, because there is a demand for more social assistance when the economy is poor and people do need those services," Zhao added. Positions in the sector are not typically well compensated, however. Average hourly earnings in social assistance clocked in at $23.60 in June, the most recent month for which such data is available. That pay level came in well below an average of $36.32 per hour across the private sector, BLS data showed.
