Dataset
Medical Care Benefits of Workers by Type and Amount of Employee Contribution: 2006
The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the US Census Department as Microsoft Excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and, worst of all, the table headers are not easily matched to their rows and columns.
A few files had extraneous characters in the title. These were corrected to be consistent. A few files have a sheet of crufty gibberish in the first slot. The sheet order was shuffled but no data were changed.
The tables that were changed (this is table 150):
0166 0257 0362 0429 0445 0446 0459 0461 0462 0464 0465 0466 0467 0469 0479 0480 0481 0482 0483 0484 0485 0486 0487 0559 0628 0629 1144 1227 1231
This dataset consists of a table of 41 rows and 11 columns.
In percent. See headnote, Table 149
Footnotes
- 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. - Based on worker attributes. For example,
employee contributions may vary based on
earnings, length of service, or age. - Amount varies by options selected under a
“cafeteria plan” or employer-sponsored
reimbursement account.
