This includes employees who have not yet met an eligibility requirement or who do not make required contributions. Participation in a benefit is computed in two different ways: as a percent of all employees and as a percent of those employees with access to the benefit. Both of these calculations are presented in the table. The employer cost for the benefit is calculated by determining the annual cost per participant and dividing by annual hours worked. Cost per participant estimates in this publication differ from those produced in the Bureau's Employer Cost for Employee Compensation (ECEC) survey. See the technical note for further information on access, participation, and employer cost. 3 The 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments. See technical note for more information. 4 A classification system including about 200 individual occupations is used to cover all blue-collar workers in construction industries. Individual occupations are classified into one of four major occupational groups. 5 Less than 0.5 percent. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation groups may include data for categories not shown separately. Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. N.E.C. means "not elsewhere classified." Table 5.

Participation in a benefit is computed in two different ways: as a percent of all employees and as a percent of those employees with access to the benefit. Both of these calculations are presented in the table. The employer cost for the benefit is calculated by determining the annual cost per participant and dividing by annual hours worked. Cost per participant estimates in this publication differ from those produced in the Bureau's Employer Cost for Employee Compensation (ECEC) survey.

Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-hour week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 2 The 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments. See technical note for more information. 3 A classification system including about 200 individual occupations is used to cover all blue-collar workers in construction industries.

The "workers within scope of survey" estimates provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other statistical series to measure employment trends or levels since planning of wage surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied. 2 The 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by this type of construction. See appendix for more information. 3 Includes all private construction establishments within the Jacksonville area. 4 Includes white-collar, blue-collar, and service workers in private construction establishments working within the Jacksonville area. 5 Includes operative builders engaged in the construction of single-family houses and other buildings for sale on their own account rather than as contractors.
