Fringe Benefits

Important Information About Using Fringe Benefits Data

These data do not reflect actual coverage by a specific benefit, but rather a respondent's reported knowledge of whether his or her employer made such a benefit available. Starting in 2000, respondents answered these questions only for Job #1, the current or most recent primary job.

Work for Pay

Beginning with the 1988 survey, children age 10-14 were asked if they do any work for pay, not counting jobs around the house. The question posed is phrased as follows:

"Not counting jobs around the house, do you ever do any work for pay (including babysitting, paper route, or yard work for neighbors)?"
