Profit sharing is defined as eligibility for bonuses based on overall organizational performance.
Gainsharing is defined as eligibility for bonuses based on department or plant performance.
^ The figure for total private sector employees comes from Bureau of Labor Statistics establishment data
for July 2002 and 2006. The BLS does not provide employee counts for not-for-profit organizations and companies
with stock, so columns 3-5 are estimates based on the distribution of respondents in the General
Social Survey sample.
