Growth in Workers by Type of Industry, 2000 to 2005
Recent growth in the number of U.S. workers occurred in industries where health benefits are less common, while the number employed in jobs where workers are more likely to have coverage through the workplace fell by 2 million.

Notes: Excludes those aged 65+. Uninsured rates are 23% in industries where coverage is less common, such as construction and agriculture; 10% where coverage is more common, such as education and manufacturing.
