BLS Spotlight on Statistics: Employer-Sponsored Healthcare Coverage Across Wage Groups

Abstract

[Excerpt] In March of 2016, a little more than half of all private industry employees participated in employer-sponsored healthcare benefit plans. However, workers earning different wages often have markedly different experiences with healthcare benefits. This Spotlight on Statistics takes a closer look at the relationship between employee wages and access to, participation in, and costs of employer-sponsored medical, dental, and vision care benefit plans.
