My company before I retired as Plant Manager would give us an annual summary that included our benefit package costs. When I looked at it I thought no way in hell could I afford my benefits one way or another,,,it actually was 35% of my base wage as you pointed out. I thought at one point I was being underpaid ( and I was ) but when you factor the benefits for health it was a real jolt. When I retired I still don't have to pay for health benefits and that is a fast dying benefit let me tell you. I feel horrible for others following me who won't get these benefits much less after retirement.
