Cedar Rapids/Iowa City

Fringe Benefit Profile

Released October 2010

Iowa Workforce Development and its Board of Directors worked in partnership with the Employers' Council of Iowa to contact a random sample of local employers across all industrial classifications and employment ranges. Responding businesses provided information on fringe benefit packages offered in the Technology Corridor region that encompasses Benton, Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, and Washington counties in Iowa. The information provides a detailed analysis of employer-provided benefits. This information will assist businesses, community leaders, and workers to make better informed decisions on expansion and retention initiatives, community development projects, and job offerings.

This information is analyzed and compiled by Regional Research & Analysis Bureau 1000 E. Grand Avenue Des Moines, Iowa 50319 (515) 281-4896 www.iowaworkforce.org
