1Plans closed to new workers or plans that cease accruals for some or all plan participants.
2Benefit accruals are for existing participants since the plan was closed to new workers or stopped
accruing benefits.
3The categories are based on the average wage for each occupation surveyed, which may include
workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The average wages are based on the estimates
published in the "National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2009." See
Technical Note for more details.
NOTE: Dash indicates no workers in this category or data did not meet publication criteria. For definitions of
major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
