The US social security system covers more than 90% of the total workers employed in the US. The motive of providing employee benefits is to support the economic security of an individual by insuring against unsure events, and to raise standards of living by providing desired services. Employee benefit programs also add to economic stability by helping to secure the population’s income and welfare, benefitting the economy as a whole.
