^ Of firms that offer health benefits to active workers.

Note: As discussed in the chapter on survey design, this year the sample was stratified to the firm size and industry distribution reported by the U.S. Census. This had the effect of increasing the reported prevalence of retiree benefits offered by large firms (200 or more workers) for this year and prior years. The differences are not statistically significant.
