1 The take-up rate is an estimate of the percentage of workers with access to a plan
who participate in the plan, rounded for presentation. See Technical Note for more details.
2 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private households,
and workers in the public sector, except the federal government. See Technical Note for
further explanation.
3 Includes defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution retirement plans.
Workers are considered as having access or as participating if they have access to or are
participating in at least one of these plan types.
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: 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 The take-up rate is an estimate of the percentage of workers with access to a plan
who participate in the plan, rounded for presentation. See Technical Note for more
details.
2 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government. See
Technical Note for further explanation.
3 Healthcare is a collective term for the following benefits: medical, dental, and vision
care benefits; and outpatient prescription drug coverage. If workers have access to or
participate in at least one of these benefits, they are considered as having access to or
participating in healthcare.
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: 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 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government. See
Technical Note for further explanation.
2 A composite rate is a set contribution covering more than one benefit area, for
example, healthcare and life insurance. Cost data for individual plans cannot be
determined.
3 Based on worker attributes. For example, employee contributions may vary
based on earnings, length of service, or age.
4 Amount varies by options selected under a "cafeteria plan" or
employer-sponsored reimbursement account.
5 Less than 0.5.

6 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: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. 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 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private households,
and workers in the public sector, except the federal government. See Technical Note for
further explanation.
2 The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position within each
published series. For example, at the 50th percentile or median, half of participating
workers pay the same as or more than the premium shown, and half pay the same as or
less than the premium shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth of participating workers
pay the same or less than the premium shown. The remaining percentiles follow the same
logic.
3 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.

1 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government.
See Technical Note for further explanation.
2 Includes participants in plans in which insurance equaled a multiple of
earnings plus or minus a specified amount.
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: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

1 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government.
See Technical Note for further explanation.
2 The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position within
each published series. For example, at the 50th percentile or median, half of
the participating workers receive the same as or more than the benefit shown,
and half receive the same as or less than the benefit shown. At the 25th
percentile, one-fourth of the participating workers receive the same or less
than the benefit shown. The remaining percentiles follow the same logic.
3 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: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.
Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication

1 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government.
See Technical Note for further explanation.
2 The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position within
each published series. For example, at the 50th percentile or median, half of
the participating workers receive the same as or more than the benefit shown,
and half receive the same as or less than the benefit shown. At the 25th
percentile, one-fourth of the participating workers receive the same or less
than the benefit shown. The remaining percentiles follow the same logic.
3 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: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.
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

Employee
Benefit

1 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government.
See Technical Note for further explanation.
2 The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position within
each published series. For example, at the 50th percentile or median, half of
the participating workers receive the same as or more than the benefit shown,
and half receive the same as or less than the benefit shown. At the 25th
percentile, one-fourth of the participating workers receive the same or less
than the benefit shown. The remaining percentiles follow the same logic.
3 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: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.
Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication

1 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in private
households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal government. See
Technical Note for further explanation.
2 The sum of paid and unpaid family leave may exceed 100 percent because
some workers have access to both types of plans.
3 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.

1 Includes workers in the private nonfarm
economy except those in private households, and
workers in the public sector, except the federal
government. See Technical Note for further
explanation.
2 Employees earn or accrue a specified number
of sick leave days per year. This number may vary
by length of service.
3 Plan does not specify maximum number of
days.
4 A consolidated leave plan provides a single
amount of time-off for workers to use for multiple
purposes, such as vacation, illness, or personal
business.
5 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.

1 A consolidated leave plan provides a single amount of time-off for
workers to use for multiple purposes, such as vacation, illness, or personal
business. Those with no consolidated leave plan often have separate
leave plans for different purposes.
2 Includes workers in the private nonfarm economy except those in
private households, and workers in the public sector, except the federal
government. See Technical Note for further explanation.
3 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.

totals. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms,
