## TECHNICAL NOTE The Employment Cost Index (ECI) measures the changein the cost of labor, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupations and industries. Detailed information on survey concepts, coverage, methods, nonresponse adjustment, and imputation can be found inBLS Handbook of Methods, Chapter 8, “National Compensation Measures,” Bureau of Labor Statistics, on the Internet at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf. Sample size Data for the June 2015 reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately 37,200 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 8,600 private industry establishments and approximately 8,900 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 1,500 state and local government establishments that provided data at the initial interview. Standard Errors To assist users in ascertaining thereliability of Employment Cost Index (ECI) series, standard errors of all current quarter estimates except seasonally adjusted series are made available shortly after publication of the news release. Standard errors provide users a measure of the precision of an estimate to ensure that it is within an acceptable range for their intended purpose. For further information see: www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/ectvar.htm. Health insurance data Data from the ECI that provide 12-month percent changes in employer costs for health insurance in private industry are available at www.bls.gov/web/eci/echealth.pdf. Historical listings Historical listings thatprovide all ECI data are available at www.bls.gov/ect/#tables. Included among these listings is one that provides continuous occupational and industry series. This listing uses the Standard Industrial Classification Manual and Censusof Population series through 2005 and the North American Industry Classification System and Standard Occupational Classification from 2006 to the present. It provides the official series from the beginning of the ECIin 1975 through the current quarter. For more information on the criteria used in defining continuous series, see the article published in the Monthly Labor Reviewat www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2006/04/art2full.pdf. Employer Costs for Employee Compensation data The costs per hour worked of compensation components, based on data from the ECI, are published in a separate news release titled "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation" (ECEC). These releases are issued 3 months after the reference period. The ECEC release dates are available at: www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/2015_sched.htm. Historical ECEC data are available in summary documents at www.bls.gov/ect/#tables. Since the ECECis calculated with current employment weights rather than the fixed weights used in computing the ECI, year-to-year changes inthe cost levels usually differ from those in the ECI.- 5 -
