Overview
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides comprehensive measures of compensation cost trends, the incidence of benefits, and detailed benefit provisions. This bulletin presents estimates of the detailed provisions of employer-provided health plans in state and local government in 2011. Under the NCS program, information on the incidence and provision of benefits is published in stages. An earlier bulletin provided 2011 NCS data for civilian, state and local government, and private industry workers, on the incidence of (access to and participation in) selected benefits and detailed provisions of paid holidays, life insurance plans, and some other benefit plans, as well as on employer and employee shares of contributions to medical care premiums and their average amounts. Similar data for civilian, private industry, and state and local government workers for March 2012 will be issued later this year.
The bulletin of detailed benefit provisions this year includes health tables for state and local government. Similar health tables for private industry are scheduled to be published in the winter of 2012-2013.
