This survey of 6000 employees of 50 companies means an average of 120 employees per company. IMO this applies to larger companies, not small businesses who employ 50 or less employees usually. What the article doesn't cover or the survey didn't include was what percentage of health insurance premium the company pays. The small business I am associated with OFFERS health insurance but pays just part of the premium. Dental coverage is an option but it is expensive. I bet if you surveyed just small businesses you would find that not many offered any increases at all due to the lousy economy.
