A 2007 survey of approximately 2000 employers found that "sixty-one percent of firms that offer health benefits allow employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for health insurance premiums. Large firms (200 or more workers) are more likely to offer this benefit than small firms (3-199 workers) (92% vs. 60%)." (p. 6)
