Private industryemployers spent an average of $28.13 per hour worked for employee compensation in June 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Wages and salaries averaged $19.81 per hour worked and accounted for 70.4 percent of these costs, while benefits averaged $8.32 and accounted for the remaining 29.6 percent. Total compensation costs for state and local governmentworkers averaged $40.40 per hour worked in J une 2011. Total compensation costs for civilian workers, which include private industry and stat e and local government workers, averaged $29.98 per hour worked in June 2011. 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 benefi t costs in private industry In June 2011, average costs in private industryfor retirement and savings benefits were $1.03 per hour worked, or 3.7 percent of total compensation. Costs varied by occupational group. Private industry retirement and savings benefit costs for management, professional, and related occupations were $2.08 per hour, or 4.1 percent of total compen sation in June 2011. Costs were lowest among Cost per hour worked

# service occupations, 22 cents or 1.6 pe rcent of total compensation. (See chart 1 and table 5.) Included in this amount were employer costs for defined benefit and defined contributionplans. Employer costs for retirement and savings plans are affected by several factors, incl uding the percentage of employees that participate in the plans offered by their employer. (The National Compensation Survey produces comprehensive data on the percentage of workers with access to and that participate in retirement plans. Data for March 2011 are availabl e at http://www.bls.gov/ne ws.release/pdf/ebs2.pdf). In June 2011, the average cost per hour worked for defined benefitplans— retirement plans that typically specify a benefit based on age, years of service, and earnings—was 46 cents (1.6 percent of total compensation). The average cost for defined contributionplans—retirement plans usually based on employer contributions to individual empl oyee accounts—was 57 cents (2.0 percent of total compensation). (See table 5.) Retirement and savings costs were higher, both in amount and as a proportion of total compensation, for union workers ($2.92 and 7.7 percent of total compensation) than for nonunion workers (83 cents and 3.1 percent of total compensation). Defined benefit plan costs we re significantly higher for union workers ($2.22 and 5.8 percent of compensation) th an for nonunion workers (28 cents and 1.0 percent of compensation). Defined contribution costs for un ion workers were higher (71 cents) compared to nonunion workers (55 cents), but the pr oportion of total compensation was similar. (See table 5.) Retirement and savings costs were higher per hour worked in goods-producing industries ($1.70 and 5.1 percent of total compensation) than in service-providing industries(89 cents and 3.3 percent of total compensation). Within goods- producing industries, retirement and savings costs averaged $1.71 per hour in construction and $1.57 per hour in manufacturing. Costs in service-providing industries varied widely, ranging from 12 cents in leisure and hosp itality to $1.69 in the financial activities industry. (See 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 100 workers averaged 61 cents (2.6 percent of total compensation). Establishments with 100 to 499 workers averaged $1.03 per hour (3.6 percent) worked, significantly less than establishments w ith 500 workers or more which averaged $2.18 (5.4 percent). Defined benefit co sts ranged from 23 cents per hour worked for establishments with under 100 wo rkers to $1.14 per hour worked for 500 workers or more. Defined contribution costs also showed increases by establis hment size from 38 cents per hour worked for 1 to 99 workers to $1.04 per hour worked for 500 worker s or more. (See chart 2 and table 8.) Full-time workers in private industry averaged $1.30 pe r hour worked (4.0 percent of total compensation) for retirement and savings, significantly higher than 26 cents for part-time workers (1.6 percent). (See table 11.) Benefit costs in private industry Private industry employer costs for paid leave (vacation, holiday, sick leave, and personal leave) averaged $1.90 per hour worked (6.7 percent of total compensation), supplemental pay (overtime and premium, shift differentials , and nonproduction bonuses) averaged 80 cents (2.8 percent), insurance benefits (life, health, and disability insurance) averaged $2.27 (8.1 percent), and legally required benefits (Social Se curity, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation) averaged $2.33 (8.3 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 privat e 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 cost levels for this quarter were collectedfrom a probability sample of approximately 62,100 occupations selected from a sample of about 12,700 establishments inprivate industry and approximately 11,500 occupations from a sample of about 1,800 establishments in state and local government. Data are collected fo r the pay period including the 12 th

# day of the survey months of March, June, September, and December. 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. Manufacturing and sales, for ex ample, make up a large part of private industry work activities but are rare in state and local government. Professional and administrative support occupations (including teachers) account for two-thirds of the state and local government workforce, compared wi th one-half of private industry. ECEC quarterly publication focus ECEC news releases are published quarterly, providing 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 in dustry. Topics of news releases for the upcoming reference periods are as follows:

 September 2011—Compensation costs in state and local government

 December 2011—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.
