The 2020-2021 edition of the Aflac WorkForces Report is a continuation of the research conducted in prior years using a similar methodological approach.

• Kantar conducted the employer survey online in the United States between June 12 and June 30, 2020, among employers at companies with at least three employees offering employee benefits. A small sample of employers at companies with three to 49 employees that do not offer benefits was included as part of the sample in 2019 and 2020 to better understand this demographic. Results were weighted and quotas were applied to ensure representativeness of U.S. employers and to allow year-over-year trending. No estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated; a full methodology is available.
• Kantar conducted the employee survey online in the United States between July 7 and July 21, 2020, among adults age 18 and older who are employed full or part time at a company with three or more employees. A small sample of employees at very small companies (with one or two employees) were surveyed in 2019 and 2020 to better understand this demographic. Results were weighted and quotas were applied to ensure the sample was representative of the U.S. workforce and to allow year-over-year trending. No estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated; a full methodology is available.
