re: Legacy of WWII. The vets liked the idea of not having to worry about health care during the war, so they tended to prefer employers who offered a similar deal.

Wasn't there some kind of real or artificial cap on salaries, so the employers could only compete with benefits? Can't remember the details but there was a large incentive to offer (very cheap at the time) health benefits.

It really did F everything up.
