TABLE OF DATA FROM APPENDIX A3-1

Statistical Analysis of Combined Age Distribution

The table below present certain statistical characteristics of selected relevant employee groups with LEO retirement coverage (LEOs) and without LEO retirement coverage (non-LEOs). While the sample is quite large, it is not the entire universe of LEOs and non-LEOs. The table indicates that individuals in the LEO category have an average age of nearly 40 years, while individuals in the non-LEO category have an average age of nearly 43 years. Three-fourths (75.1 percent) of the LEO group is 45 or younger, while just over one-half (57.4 percent) of the non-LEO group is 45 or under.

Category	Number	Mean
LEO	32,764	40.0
Non-LEO	20,992	43.0

TABLE OF DATA FROM APPENDIX A3-2

It is apparent that the two groups have two distinctly different age distributions. The LEO group is more clustered around its average age, and the distribution indicates a younger population than the GS group. The GS group has a more even distribution of ages.
