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. The
total is less than the sum of the individual items because some employees had access to
and participated in both types of plans.
4 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 Plans closed to new workers or plans that cease accruals for some
or all plan participants.
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 sum of the individual components may be greater than the total
because some employers offer more than one alternative.
4 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: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

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 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.

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 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 Employees eligible for paid vacations but who have not fulfilled the minimum
service requirement are included as receiving 0 days.
4 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.

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.
