I'm not sure a percentage is available... of course www.taxfoundation.org would have all types of statistics if anyone would...
However, everyone in a legal employee/employer or legally reporting employment income, (compared to workers getting paid "under the table" claiming not to be employees, hence probably not in any good definition of "worker"), --- except for certain government or railroad type employees,and some teachers (all of which pay into a program virtually identical), must pay in.
The percentage should be 100%, or very close.
