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 defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution retirement plans. The
total is less than the sum of the individual items because some employees had access to
and participated in both types of plans.
3 The percentile groupings are based on the average wage for each occupation
surveyed, which may include workers both above and below the threshold. The percentile
values are based on the estimates published in the "National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." 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/glossary20082009.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 The percentile groupings are based on
the average wage for each occupation
surveyed, which may include workers both
above and below the threshold. The percentile
values are based on the estimates published
in the "National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Earnings in the United States,
2008." 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

area, for example, health care and life insurance. Cost data for individual plans
cannot be determined.
2 Based on worker attributes. For example, employee contributions may
vary based on earnings, length of service, or age.
3 Amount varies by options selected under a "cafeteria plan" or
employer-sponsored reimbursement account.
4 Less than 0.05.
5 The percentile groupings are based on the average wage for each
occupation surveyed, which may include workers both above and below the

"National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States,
2008." See Technical Note for more details.

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 The percentile groupings are based on the average wage for each occupation
surveyed, which may include workers both above and below the threshold. The percentile
values are based on the estimates published in the "National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2008." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication criteria.

1 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.
