According to a 2007 GAO analysis of BLS and CPS data, "employer's use of contingent workers, workers that are not full-time, year-round employees, has remained constant over the last decade at about 30 percent of the total workforce." Of those contingent workers, 43% are standard part-time workers, 24% are independent contractors, and 14% are self-employed workers. The others are direct-hire temps (7%), on-call workers or day laborers (6%), agency temps (3%), and contract company workers (2%). (Fig. 2, p. 12-13)

This report is based on data from three private-sector surveys of employer-sponsored health benefits and two federal surveys that address workforce characteristics and benefits costs and participation rates, including the Current Population Survey (CPS), which is designed and administered jointly by the Bureau of the Census and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the Mercer National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans; Mercer's 2005 database contains information from 2,122 large (over 500) and small (under 500) employers who sponsor health plans.
