Employer-Based Health Insurance

The Alaska departments of Health and Social Services, Labor and Workforce Development, and Commerce, Community and Economic Development developed a survey that was distributed to a sample of Alaska's private-sector and local government employers by the Department of Labor during the summer of 2006. The survey focused on peak seasonal employment in an attempt to assess the impact of fi rm size, cost and other issues related to employer offering and employee take-up of health insurance at the high point of Alaska's 2006 employment.
