* Non-single coverage includes both family and employee-plus-one coverage levels. This is a labeling change effective in 2010, however the estimates for prior years are comparable.

** Definitions of industry groupings changed in 2000. These data are not comparable to MEPS-IC estimates made prior to 2000.
