Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 0.4 percent, seasonally adjusted, for the 3-month period ending September 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Both components of compensation—wages and salaries ( which make up about 70 percent of compensation) and benefits ( which make up the remaining 30 percent of compen sation)—increased the same amount, 0.4 percent.

Civilian Worker Data Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 1.5 percent for the 12-month period ending September 2009. This was smaller than the 2.9 percent increase for the 12-month period ending in September 2008. Wages and salariesincreased 1.5 percent for the current 12-month period, slowing from a 3.1 percent increase for the 12-month period ending in September 2008. Benefit costs rose 1.6 percent, down from a 2.6 percent increase for th e 12-month period ending September 2008. Private Industry Worker Data Compensation costs, wages and salaries, and benefit costs decelerated for private industry workers for the 12-month period ending September 2009, registering th e smallest increases since each series began, but the differences were not statistically different from last quarter. Compensation costs increased 1.2 percent, the smallest percent change pub lished since the series began in 1980. The wage and salary series, which began in 1975, increased 1.4 percent for the current 12-monthperiod. The cost of benefits , which have been measured since 1980, increas ed 1.1 percent for the 12-month period ending September 2009. Employer costs for health benefits increased 4.7 percent for the 12-month period ending September 2009. In September 2008, the 12-month percent change was 3.9 percent. 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0

## TECHNICAL NOTE The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a measure of th e change in the cost of labor, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupations and industries. The compen sation series includes changes in wages and salaries and employer costs for employee benefits. The wage and salary series and the benefit cost series provide the change s for the two components of compensation. Wages and salaries are defined as the hourly straight-time wage rate or, for workers not paid on an hourly basis, straight-time earnings divided bythe corresponding hours. Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings be fore payroll deductions, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends and holidays, shift differentials, and nonproduction bo nuses. Production bonuses, incentive earnings, commission payments, and cost-of- living adjustments are included in straight-time wage and salary rates. Benefits covered by the ECI are: Paid leave—vacations, holiday s, sick leave, and personal leave; supplemental pay—premium pay for work in addition to the regular work schedule (such as overtime, weekends, and holidays) , shift differentials, and nonproduc tion bonuses (such as year-end, referral, and attendance bonuses); insu rance benefits—life, health, short-term disability, and long-term disability; retirement and savings benefits—defined be nefit and defined contribu tion plans; and legally required benefits—Social Security, Medicare, federal and state unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation. The ECI provides data for the civilian economy, which includes the total private nonfarm economy excluding private households, and the publicsector excluding the fe deral government. The private industry series and the st ate and local government series provide data for the two sectors separately. Sample establishments are classified by indus try categories based on the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). All industri es are classified into two sectors—goods-producing and service-providing. Within a sample establishment, specific job categories are selected and classified into about 800 occupational classifications accordi ng to the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Individual occupations are combined torepresent one of ten intermediate aggregations, such as professional and related occupations, or one of five higher-level aggregations, such as management, professional, and related occupations. Both the NAICS and the SOC classification systems are defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB). For more detailed information on NAICS and SOC, including background definitions, s ee the BLS Web sites: www.bls.gov/bls/naics.htm and www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm. To be included in the ECI, employees in occ upations must receive ca sh payments from the establishment for services performed and the es tablishment must pay the employer’s portion of Medicare taxes on that individual’ s wages. Major exclusions from the survey are the self-employed, individuals who set their own pay (f or example, proprietors, owners, ma jor stockholders, and partners in unincorporated firms), volunteers, unpaid workers, family members being paid token wages, individuals receiving long-term disability compensation, and U.S. citizens working overseas. Data for the September 2009 reference period werecollected from a probability sample of approximately 62,700 occupational observations select ed from a sample of about 13,200 establishments in private industry and approximate ly 11,700 occupations from a sample of about 1,900 establishments in state and local governments. The state and local government sample, which is replaced less frequently than the private industry sample, wa s replaced in its entirety in September 2007. The

## - 4 - 

## private industry sample is rotated over approxi mately 5 years, which makes the sample more representative of the economy and reduces respondent burden. Data are collected for the pay period including the 12 th

## day of the survey months of March, June , September, and December. The sample is replaced on a cross-area , cross-industry basis. Fixed employment weights are used each reference period to calculate the most aggregate series—civilian, private, and state an d local government. These fixed wei ghts are also used to derive all of the industry and occupational series indexe s. Beginning with Marc h 2006 estimates, 2002 fixed employment weights from the Bureau’s Occupati onal Employment Statistics survey were introduced. For the series based on bargaining status, censu s region and division, and for series excluding incentive paid occupations, fixed employment data are not available. The employment weights are reallocated within these series for each reference period based on the current ECI sample. The nursing care facilities indexes in private i ndustry are estimated using fixed- employment weights derived from staffing patterns estimated from the four-digit industry NAICS group 6231, nursi ng care facilities, a subindustry of the larger industry group, nursing and residentia l care facilities (NAICS 623). The indexes for these series, consequently, are not strictly compar able with those for the aggregate, occupational, and industry series. A fuller explanation of the calculation of index numbers appears in chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at the web si te www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf. Beginning with the release of the March 2006 data, indexes were rebased to December 2005=100 from June 1989=100. The percentage changes shown in the current- and constant-dollar historical tables were calculat ed from the rebased indexes. Thus, changes may differ from those originally published because of rounding. The ECI state and local government sample cons ists of 152 areas that represent the Nation's 361 metropolitan statistical areas and 573 micropolitan statistical areas as defined by OMB in December 2003 and the remaining portions of the 50 states. The private industry estimates st arted the conversion to December 2003 OMB areas definitions in the December 2008 reference period with replacement of onefifth of the sample under the new area definitions. Seasonally adjusted data for selected ECI series began with the December 1990 ECI release. Seasonal adjustment removes the effects of events th at follow a more or less regular pattern each year. These adjustments make nonseasonal patterns easier to identify. The seasonal adju stment factors are recalculated once per year. The March release contains data refl ecting the newly updated seasonal adjustment factors. The historicaldata for the last five years are then revised based on the newly estimated factors. The seasonal factors for 2009 and re vised seasonally adjusted indexes for the past 5 years are available at www.bls.gov/ect/ectsfact.htm or upon request. Because the ECI is a sample survey, it is subject to sampling errors. Sampling errors are differences that occur between the results computed from a sample of observations and those computed from all observations in the population. The estimates derived from different samples selected using the same sample design may differ from one other. A measure of the variation among these differing estimates is the standard error. It can be used to measure the precisi on with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the expected result of all possible samp les. The chances are about 68 out of 100 that an estimate from the survey differs from a complete population figure by less than the standard error. The chances are about 90 out of 100 that this differenc e would be less than 1.6 times the standard error. The statements of comparisons appearing in this publ ication are signif icant at a 1.6 standard error level or better, unl ess otherwise indicated. This mean s that for differences cited, the estimated difference is greater than 1.6 times the standard error of the difference.

## - 5 - 

## The ECI uses standard errors to evaluate publis hed series. To assist us ers in ascertaining the reliability of series, the standard errors for all estimates (excluding seasonally adjusted series) are available on the BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/ect/ectvar.htm shortly af ter the publication of the news release. When determining data to be used in contract ne gotiations, it is important to note that differences by bargaining status may be due to factors other than union status, such as occupational and industry mix. An important consideration when choosing a seri es for escalation is the sampling error. For more information, see www.bls.gov/ect/escalator.htm.
More detailed information on the ECI is availabl e from several sources. These include a chapter, “National Compensation Meas ures,” (www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pd f/homch8.pdf) from the BLS Handbook of Methods, and several articles published in th e Monthly Labor Revi ew and Compensation and Working Conditions. The articles and other descriptive pieces are available at www.bls.gov/ect/#publications, by calling (202) 691-6199, or sending e-mail to NCSinfo@bls.gov. Historical ECI data, using indus try categories based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) System and classifying jobs into occupatio nal classifications according to the Census of Population, are available dating from the first pub lication of each series to December 2005 at: www.bls.gov/web/echistry.pdf. Data are also available for series based on the 2002 and 2007 North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) and the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) beginning in March 2001, using Decem ber 2005=100 as the base period at: www.bls.gov/web/echistrynaics.pdf.
A new historical listi ng, providing continuous occ upational and industry seri es using SIC-Census of Population and NAICS-SOC classi fications is available at www.bls.gov/web/ecic ois.pdf. It provides the official series from the beginning of the EC I in 1975 through the current quarter. For more information on the criteria used in defining continuous series, see the following article published in the Monthly Labor Review at www.bls .gov/opub/mlr/2006/04/art2full.pdf. In addition, constant-dollar ECI series derived from the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) are available. Th e constant-dollar series are calc ulated by converting the CPI-U to the same base as the ECI. The ECI for each referen ce period is then divided by the converted CPI-U for the same reference period. The CPI-U U.S. City Averag e All Items is used to compute all series except for the regional estimates, which us e corresponding CPI regional data. Supplemental data from the ECI, providing 12- month percent changes in employer costs for health insurance in private industry, are al so available at www .bls.gov/ect/sp/echealth.pdf. The costs per hour worked of compensation co mponents, based on data from the ECI, are published in a separate news rele ase titled "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation" (ECEC). The next ECEC release is scheduled for 10:00 AM EDT, Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Historical ECEC data are available in summary documents. Both th e release and historical data are available at www.bls.gov/ect, by email to NC Sinfo@bls.gov, or by calling (202) 691-6199. Since the ECEC is calculated with current employment weights rather than the fixed wei ghts used in computing the ECI, year-to-year changes in the cost levels usually differ from those in the ECI.
