Data from the BLS National Compensation Survey show that access to employer-provided health insurance declined from 1991 to 2002, chiefly because of narrower access among part-time workers. Then, from 2003 to 2012, access exhibited a significant further drop and participation also fell significantly. Over the latter period, nonunion workers, part-time employees, and lower wage workers, as well as those employed at small establishments, had a lower incidence of employerprovided health insurance.
