# 2013
Private industry employers spent an average of $29.11 per hour worked for employee compensation in June 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics repor ted today. Wages and sala ries averaged $20.47 per hour worked and accounted for 70.3 percent of these costs, while benefits averaged $8.64 and accounted for the remaining 29.7 percent. Total compensation costs for state and local government workers averaged $42.09 per hour worked in J une 2013. Total compensation costs for civilian workers, which include private industry and stat e and local government workers, averaged $31.00 per hour worked in June 2013. Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), a product of the National Compensation Survey, measures employer costs for wages, salaries, and employee benefits for nonfarm private and state and local government workers.

Retirement and savings co sts in private industry In June 2013, average costs in private industry for retirement and savings benefits were $1.07 per hour worked, or 3.7 percent of total compensatio n. The average cost per hour worked for defined benefit plans — retirement plans that specify a benefit t ypically based on age, years of service, and earnings—was 47 cents or 1.6 percent of to tal compensation. The average cost for defined contribution plans—retirement plans usually based on employer contributions to individua l employee accounts—was Cost per hour worked Chart 2.

# 60 cents or 2.1 percent of total compensation. (See ta ble 5.) Employer costs for retirement and savings plans are affected by several factors, including the pe rcentage of employees that participate in the plans offered by their employer. (The National Compensa tion Survey produces comprehensive data on the percentage of workers with access to and that partic ipate in retirement plans. Data for March 2013 are available at http://www.bls .gov/news.release/pdf/ebs2.pdf). Retirement and savings costs were higher both in amount and as a proportion of total compensation for union workers ($3.29 and 8.1 percent of tota l compensation) than for nonunion workers (85 cents and 3.0 percent of total compensation) . (See chart 1 and table 5.) Defi ned benefit plan costs were significantly higher for union workers ($2.47 and 6.1 percent of total compensation) than for nonunion workers (27 cents and 1.0 percen t of total compensation). Retirement and savings costs were higher per hour worked in goods-producing industries ($1.57 and 4.5 percent of total compensation) than in service-providing industries (97 cents and 3.4 percent of total compensation). Within goods-producing industri es, retirement and savings costs averaged $1.94 per hour in construction and $1.29 per hour in manufact uring. Costs in service-providing industries varied widely, ranging from 14 cents in leisure and hospita lity to $2.86 in the information industry. (See chart 2 and table 6.) Retirement and savings costs increased both in cost per hour worked and proportion of total compensation with establishment size . Establishments with fewer than 50 workers averaged 52 cents (2.2 percent of total compensation) , significantly less than establishm ents with 500 workers or more, averaging $2.26 (5.2 per cent). (See table 8.) Benefit costs in private industry Private industry employer costs for paid leave averaged $2.00 per hour worked or 6.9 percent of total compensation, supplemental pay averaged 80 cents or 2.8 percent, insurance benefits averaged $2.39 or 8.2 percent, and legally required benefits averaged $2.39 per hour worked or 8.2 percent.

# TECHNICAL NOTE
Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC) meas ures the average cost to employers for wages and salaries and benefits per employee hour worked. ECEC includes the civilian economy, which includes data from both private i ndustry and state and local government. Excluded from private industry are the self-employed and farm and private household workers. Federal government workers are excluded fr om the public sector. The private industry series and the state and local government series pr ovide data for the two sectors separately. The ECEC cost levels for this quarter were collect ed from a probability sample of approximately 45,700 occupations selected from a sample of about 9,200 esta blishments in private industry and approximately 9,100 occupations from a sample of about 1,400 establishments in state and local government. Comparing private and public sector data Compensation cost levels in state and local governmen t should not be directly compared with levels in private industry. Differences between these sectors stem from factors such as variation in work activities and occupational structures. Manufac turing and sales, for example, ma ke up a large pa rt of private industry work activities but are ra re in state and local government . Professional and administrative support occupations (including teac hers) account for two-thirds of the state and local government workforce, compared with one-half of private industry. ECEC quarterly publication focus ECEC news releases are published quarterly, provid ing civilian, private industry, and state and local government cost per hour estimates as well as additio nal detail on a specific compensation cost topic of interest. This quarter focuses on retirement and savings costs in private industry. T opics of news releases for the upcoming reference periods are as follows:

 September 2013—Compensation costs in state and local government

 December 2013—Paid leave and legally required benefit costs in private industry
ECEC detailed information and measures For detailed information on the Employer Costs fo r Employee Compensation, see Chapter 8, National Compensation Measures of the BLS Handbook of Methods at: http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf.
