NU Online News Service, June 11, 2003, 5:21 p.m. EDT – U.S. workers have some complaints about employer-sponsored health insurance, Mexican workers love their health benefits, and Japanese workers have neutral or negative feelings about most of the major benefits that their employers offer, according to results of a global financial well-being survey released by Principal Financial Group Inc., Des Moines, Iowa.
Researchers compared benefits survey data for workers in the United States and 12 other countries.
When the researchers looked at satisfaction levels for eight types of employee benefits, they found that only 39% of the U.S. workers gave their health insurance ratings of 7 or higher on a 10-point scale.
Hong Kong and Japan were the only other countries included that produced the same or lower health-benefit satisfaction results.
