4 Savings plans established by the employer on behalf of the employee, but with no employer contribution.
These are cash or deferred arrangement plans or individual retirement accounts used to fund savings and
retirement plans authorized by section 401(k), 403(b), or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code. The employees’
contributions can be pre- and post-tax. Employees may authorize a payroll deduction by the employer to fund
the established plan.
5 The sum of the individual components may be greater than the total because some employees may have
access to more than one type of stock option.
6 Less than 0.5.
7 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation,
which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed
using percentile estimates generated using wage data for March 2015.
Note: 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/glossary20142015.htm.

1 Formerly referred to as Dependent care reimbursement account.
2 Formerly referred to as Health care reimbursement account.
3 Savings plans established by the employer on behalf of the employee, but with no employer contribution.
These are cash or deferred arrangement plans or individual retirement accounts used to fund savings and
retirement plans authorized by section 401(k), 403(b), or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code. The employees’
contributions can be pre- and post-tax. Employees may authorize a payroll deduction by the employer to fund
the established plan.
4 An individual retirement plan that can be sponsored by the employer, but with no employer contributions.
The employee establishes either a traditional (with tax-deductible contributions) or Roth (contributions are made
post-tax but accumulate tax-free until retirement) IRA plan with a financial institution, and authorizes the payroll
deduction by the employer.
5 The sum of the individual components may be greater than the total because some employees may have
access to more than one type of stock option.
6 Less than 0.5.
7 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation,
which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed
using percentile estimates generated using wage data for March 2015.
Note: 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/glossary20142015.htm.
