| Sumario: | The Bureau of Labor Statistics' 1995 Survey of Employer-Provided Training is discussed. The survey represents a forward step in establishment-based training surveys, going beyond the incidence of training to get estimates of the intensity of training offered. The survey also gathered data on the extent of informal training by interviewing randomly chosen workers. The findings suggest that U.S. employers expend a considerable degree of time and resources on formal and informal training. Employer data indicate that the incidence of formal training tends to be greater at establishments that are larger, have lower turnover, have more benefits, employ more alternative workplace practices, and employ contract workers.
