More Employees Have Access to Health Savings Accounts

The percentage of workers with access to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) rose from 5% in March 2005 to 6% in March 2006, according to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Zilberman, 2006). While the percentage of workers with access to HSAs rose across most categories, white-collar workers, those making $15 per hour or higher, and workers in fi rms with 100 employees or more remained most likely to have access to HSAs. In the Mountain Division, the percentage rose from 3% to 5% over the same period.
