*Notes:
Benefit Reports:
Changes in the 2004 survey form affect the meaning and year-to-year comparability of
results shown in the benefits section. While check boxes for both "yes" and
"no" responses were included in previous surveys, respondents could only
indicate "yes" in surveys starting in 2004,
and the standard for an affirmative response was clarified to "received by more than
half of employees without their having to co-pay more than 25% of the cost." The
portion of replies with a "yes" for each benefit was calculated in previous years considering a base (denominator)
of only those who checked either of the two boxes, i.e., ignoring those who left the item
blank. Because the portion is calculated this year in relation to all respondents,
including both those who would have left the item blank and those who would have
explicitly checked "no," the figures this year tend to be lower. N is total number of respondents in the each tabulation
group.
Bonuses includes "Yearly profit-sharing" or bonuses.
