## Technical Note Data in this historical listing include corrections to several series for the June 2009 through September 2010 reference periods. For further information, see: bls.gov/bls/eci_corrections_111910.htm. Corrections affected index numbers, 3-month percent changes, and 12-month percent changes. Data in all historical listings, the ECI health insurance supplemental data table, ECI standard error tables, and the seasonal factors and revised seasonally adjusted indexes tables have been reissued with the corrected data. Also, data in the selective access system at bls.gov/ect/data.htm have been updated with the corrected data. 

## Beginning with estimates for March 2006, several changes were introduced to the Employment Cost Index. These include changes to the industry and occupational classification systems, reweighting employment counts, and rebasing the index numbers. The classification changes included switching from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for classifying establishments by industry. For occupational classification, the switch was made from the Occupational Classification System (OCS) to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). Beginning in March 2006, estimates were weighted to 2002 fixed employment counts. For March 1995 through December 2005, ECI estimates were weighted on 1990 fixed employment counts. From June 1986 through December 1994, 1980 fixed employment counts were used, while prior to June 1986, they were based on 1970 employment counts. A report on the 1990 reweighting, “Introducing 1990 Weights for the Employment Cost Index,” from the June 1995 issue of Compensation and Working Conditionsis available upon request. Beginning in March 2006, the ECI base was changed to December 2005=100. Prior to this, the base was June 1989=100, which was used from March 1990 through December 2005. Before March 1990 the base was June 1981=100. December 2005=100 indexes were calculated by dividing the June 1989=100 index values for each series by the December 2005 index value for that series and then multiplying by 100. Three- and 12-month percent changes were then calculated from the rebased indexes. These percent changes may differ from those calculated from the June 1989=100 indexes only because of rounding. The change to the June 1989=100 base is explained in the technical note, “Employment Cost Index Rebased to June 1989,” inthe April 1990 issue of the Monthly Labor Review (bls.gov/opub/mlr/1990/04/rpt1full.pdf). For the series based on bargaining status, census region and division, and metropolitan area status, and for series excluding incentive paid occupations, fixed employment data are not available. The employment weights are reallocated within these series each quarter based on the current ECI sample. The indexes for these series, consequently, are not strictly comparable with those for the aggregate industry and occupational series. A fuller explanation of the calculation of index numbers appears in an article, "Estimation Procedures for the Employment Cost Index" in the May 1982 issue of the Monthly Labor Review (bls.gov/opub/mlr/1982/05/rpt3full.pdf). When using the ECI for escalation contracts, users should review the fact sheet “How to Use the Employment Cost Index for Escalation” (bls.gov/ect/escalation.htm). More detailed information on the ECI is available from several sources. These include: “National Compensation Measures,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods(bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf), and several articles published in the Monthly Labor Review(bls.gov/opub/mlr/mlrhome.htm) and Compensation and Working Conditions (bls.gov/opub/cwc/home.htm). These articles, and other descriptive pieces, are also available by calling (202) 691-6199 or sending e-mail to NCSinfo@bls.gov. For more information, see “Change has come to the ECI” at (bls.gov/ect/sp/ecsm0001.htm). In addition, the April 2006 issue of the Monthly Labor Reviewis devoted to a series of articles detailing these changes (bls .gov/opub/mlr/2006/04/contents.htm). This historical listing—which provides current-dollar estimates from 2001 to the present quarter—uses the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), 2000 and 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes, and 2002 employment weights. Seasonally adjusted index and 3-month percent changes that were inadvertently excluded for selected occupational groups in private industry from March 2001 to December 2005 (found in tables 1, 2, and 3), were added on July 30, 2010. Non-seasonally adjusted estimates for the South and Midwest census divisions from March 2001 to December 2005 (found in tables 6 and 10), were added on July 30, 2010. Non-seasonally adjusted estimates for white-collar occupations in private industry from March 2001 to December 2005 (found in table 12) were corrected on July 30, 2010. Three additional historical listings have estimates for the Employment Cost Index. One listing provides estimates for this same time period (2001 - current quarter) but reflects constant-dollar changes (using the Consumer Price Index to deflate the ECI). It also uses the NAICS, SOC, and 2002 weights. The other two listings provide data for 1975-2005 and are based on the old SIC, OCS, and the 1990 employment weights: one listing provides current-dollar estimates while the second provides constant-dollar estimates. All ECI historicallistings are available at: bls.gov/ect/home.htm#tables.
