Which Industries Pay the Highest Health Care Cost Per Employee?
The 2011 Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Health Care Benchmarking Survey examined health care costs for U.S. employees and found that costs vary widely, depending on the industry. One way to try to streamline health care costs is to opt for a self-funded health plan.
Some of the industries that the survey found “spent the most on health care per covered employee during plan year 2010″ were: Utilities; Insurance; Real Estate; Government; and Manufacturing. The industries that spent the least were: Telecommunications; Publishing; Broadcasting and other Media; Accommodation and Food Services; Arts, Entertainment and Recreation; and Business Support Services.
