Bulletin 2715
Employee Benefits Survey
Overview
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides comprehensive measures of
occupational earnings, compensation cost trends, the incidence of benefits, and detailed
benefit provisions. This bulletin presents estimates of the incidence of benefits for the
Nation. The estimates include benefits for workers by ownership within the U.S. economy in
2008—civilian, private, and State and local government—and by various occupational and
establishment characteristics. The civilian economy, by NCS definition, excludes Federal
government, agricultural, and household workers.
Questions regarding these data and recent and historical NCS benefits data can be
addressed by calling the information line at (202) 691–6199 or by e-mailing to
[email protected]. Information is available to sensory-impaired individuals on request,
(Voice phone: (202) 691–5200; Federal Relay Service: 1 (800) 877–8339). Data requests
also may be sent by mail to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Compensation
Data Analysis and Planning, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, Room 4175, Washington, DC
20212. Material in this publication is in the public domain and, with appropriate credit, may
be reproduced without permission.
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) field economists collected and reviewed the survey
data. The Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, in cooperation with the Office of
Field Operations and the Office of Technology and Survey Processing (all in the BLS National
Office), designed the survey, processed the data, and prepared the survey for publication.
The survey could not have been conducted without the cooperation of the many private
businesses and government jurisdictions that provided benefits data included in this report.
BLS thanks these respondents for their cooperation.

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 many employees 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, 2007." 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 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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet
publication criteria.

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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet
publication criteria.

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, health care 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 percent.
6 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, 2007." See Technical Note for
more details.
7 Average premium is for all workers.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dash

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.

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.

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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication criteria.

1 Includes participants in plans providing a fixed benefit
amount. Dollar amounts can-be-a flat amount or can vary by the
employee’s earnings or length of service.
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 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
same as or less than the amount shown. At the 25th percentile,
one-fourth of participating workers receive the same or less
than the amount shown. The remaining percentiles follow the
same logic.

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.
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.

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 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, 2007." 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 Includes defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution retirement plans. The
total is less than the sum of the individual items because many employees 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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication criteria.

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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet
publication criteria.

Geographic areas
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, 2007." 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.

Geographic areas
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, 2007." 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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, 2007." 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.
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.

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.

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 many employees 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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication criteria.

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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.

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 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.

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 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.

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, 2007." See Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication criteria.

multiple of earnings plus or minus a specified amount.
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, 2007." See Technical Note for more

1 Includes participants in plans providing a fixed benefit
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
same as or less than the amount shown. At the 25th percentile,
one-fourth of participating workers receive the same or less
than the amount shown. The remaining percentiles follow the
same logic.

1 Includes participants in plans providing a fixed benefit
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
same as or less than the amount shown. At the 25th percentile,
one-fourth of participating workers receive the same or less
than the amount shown. The remaining percentiles follow the
same logic.

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.
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.

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.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet
publication criteria.

Employee Benefits Survey
Technical Note
Data in this bulletin are from the National Compensation Survey (NCS), conducted by the
U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This bulletin contains March
2008 data on civilian, private industry, and State and local government workers in the
United States. Under the NCS program, information on the incidence and provision of
benefits is published in several stages. In August 2008, a news release provided data on the
incidence of (access to and participation in) selected benefits and share of premiums paid
by employers and employees for medical care. Those estimates are also included in these
tables. Data on detailed provisions of health insurance benefits in private industry will be
published in 2009. Previous publications containing information on employee benefits for
private industry and State and local government workers are available on the BLS website
http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs.
Survey scope and method
Information on the survey scope, sample design, data collection, survey estimation, and
reliability of estimates are available in the news release, "Employee Benefits in the United
States, March 2008" (USDL 08-1122) available at the BLS Web site
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ebs2_08072008.pdf. For additional technical
information, see the BLS Handbook of Methods, available online at
http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/home.htm.
Survey definitions
Definitions of pretax benefits, nonproduction bonuses, and stock options are available in the
most recent benefit publications. The March 2007 Summary of benefits for private industry
workers is available online at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/sp/ebsm0006.pdf; the September
2007 Summary of benefits for State and local government workers is available at the Web
site http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/sp/ebsm0007.pdf.
Obtaining additional information
For research articles on employee benefits, see the Monthly Labor Review or Compensation
and Working Conditions Online at the BLS Web sites
http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/home.htm and http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/home.htm. For
more detailed information on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
and the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, including background

1 The list of establishments from which the survey
sample was selected (sampling frame) was
developed from State unemployment insurance
reports and is based on the 2007 North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). For private
industries, an establishment is usually a single
physical location. For State and local governments,
an establishment is defined as all locations of a
government entity.
