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.

1 A composite rate is a set contribution covering more than one benefit
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 0.5 percent.
5 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.
6 Average premium is for all workers.
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

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.

amount. Dollar amounts can be a flat amount or can vary by the
employee’s earnings or length of service.
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 receive the
same as or more than the amount shown, and half receive the

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.

1 Employees either are granted a specific number of days after completion
of the indicated length of service or accrue days during the next 12-month
period. The total number of days is assumed to be available for use
immediately upon completion of the service interval. Periods of service are
chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect individual provisions for
progression.
2 Employees eligible for paid sick leave but who have not fulfilled the
minimum service requirement are included as receiving 0 days.
3 Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

After 20 years
1 Employees either are granted a specific number of days after completion of the
indicated length of service or accrue days during the next 12-month period. The total
number of days is assumed to be available for use immediately upon completion of the
service interval. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect
individual provisions for progression. Fractional vacation amounts were rounded to the
nearest full number of days.
2 Employees eligible for paid vacations but who have not fulfilled the minimum
service requirement are included as receiving 0 days.
3 Less than 0.5 percent.
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/glossary20082009.htm.
