1 An individual retirement plan that can be
sponsored by the employer, but with no employer
contributions. The employee establishes either a
traditional (with tax-deductible contributions) or Roth
(contributions are made post-tax but accumulate
tax-free until retirement) IRA plan with a financial
institution, and authorizes the payroll deduction by
the employer.
2 The sum of the individual components may be
greater than the total because some employees may
have access to more than one type of stock option.
3 Less than 0.5.
4 The categories are based on the average wage
for each occupation surveyed, which may include
workers with earnings both above and below the
threshold. The average wages are based on the
estimates published in the "National Compensation
Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States,
2010." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or
data did not meet publication criteria. For definitions
of major plans, key provisions, and related terms,
see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20112012.htm.

1 A health plan that provides long-term
(more than 1 year) custodial care, home care, or
