"Full-time employees are seeing benefits as an increasingly important criterion in their job search and selection. Nearly one-third (31%) of employees say benefits are an important reason why they came to work for their employer, up from 25% in 2004 and 2003. It's an even bigger factor among certain employee groups: Pre-retirees (44%) and Young Families (41%)."  - Source: Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, The Metlife Study of Employee Benefits Trends, 2005
