The findings in this report are "based on 3,494 interviews conducted online. Among these are 1,295 employers and 2,199 employees in the United States who completed interviews. The Harris Poll Online panel was the sample source for this research. Two random samples were drawn from the larger population for each segment of employees and employers. All interviews were collected between December 14, 2007 and January 16, 2008. The sample for employees consisted of U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older who are currently employed full-time or selfemployed in a company with at least five employees. For employers, the sample consisted of U.S. business professionals who are 18 years of age or older and who make strategic Human Resources decisions or strongly influence those decisions and have been doing so for at least six months."
