   * The EBRI Databook on Employee Benefits was first published in 1990.
   * The EBRI Databook on Employee Benefits is maintained on-line and updated when new data is available. The date next to each chapter link indicates when data and/or links were last updated in that chapter.
   * The EBRI Databook on Employee Benefits includes data from dozens of sources to provide a comprehensive analysis of how the employee benefits system works, who and what its various functions affect, and its relationship with the U.S. economy.
   * The EBRI Databook includes over 400 tables and charts presenting vital statistics on the employee benefit system.
   * Topics include the retirement income system; employer-sponsored benefit plans; government programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; health insurance; and labor force and demographic trends.
   * Tables and charts are supplemented by explanatory text to provide detailed information on the entire range of employee benefit programs and work force related issues.
   * The book is organized into four sections -- overview, retirement programs, health programs, and other employee benefits, with an extensive appendix offering general economic and demographic statistics, a glossary of terms used in the book, a legislative history of employee benefit programs, reference guide listing sources for further research, and an index.
