According to a 2007 survey of approximately 2000 employers, sixty percent of employers offer health benefits in 2007, similar to the 61% offer rate reported in 2006 but lower than the 69% offer rate in 2000. The drop in the overall offer rate is driven by the declining percentage of small firms (3-199 workers) that offer coverage. Among firms with 3 to 9 workers, the offer rate has dropped from 57% in 2000 to 45% in 2007. Over this same time period, the offer rate has remained stable for firms with 200 or more workers at 98% or 99% (p. 4)
