The March 1992 compensation cost levels were calculated with the March
1992 employment counts from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment
Statistics program benchmarked to the 1991 universe of all private nonfarm
establishments. For private industry, in most cases, the employment counts
used were total employment estimates for 2-digit major industry groups (such |
as primary metal manufacturing or food stores) as defined by the SIC system. :
(For the aerospace industries, employment estimates: for 4-digit industries
such as aircraft manufacturing were used.) For State and local governments,
the employment counts used ranged from those for 3-digit industries such as
hospitals to those for major industry divisions, such as public

administration.

The employment data from these 2-digit, 3-digit, or 4-digit industries |
were distributed to major occupational groups (such as executives, |
administrators, and managers or machine operators, assemblers, and
inspectors), using the relative importance of the groups as estimated by the
ECI sample. Because the ECI establishment sample is completely replaced,
industry by industry, on a 4-year cycle, the major occupational group
employment counts from the ECI are, on average, 2 to 3 years old. However,
comparisons of cost level estimates showed that. differences. of a few years in

“the age of ‘thé occupation data within industries have. a negligible impact on-
the estimates. - : . a oe :

More information on the cost levels, including how the costs. are
calculated, appears in the article "Analyzing employers’ costs for wages,

salaries, and benefits" in the October 1987 issue of the Monthly Labor Review. \
The published cost levels for March 1987 also appear in that articie.

An annual bulletin is issued from the ECI program. The most recent
bulletin, Employment Cost Indexes and Levels--1975-91 (Bulletin 2389),
provides complete historical data on ECI indexes and levels, and measures of
the precision of the two series through June 1991, It also includes an
explanation of survey methods and discussion of the published information.
The next annual bulletin, to be issued later this year, will include this
material as well as complete historical ECI data and measures of precision
through June 1992,

The Relative Standard Errors

Because the data are based on a sample survey, the compensation cost
estimates probably differ from the figures that would be obtained from all
units covered by the survey. To determine the precision of each cost level
estimate, a standard error was calculated.

The standard error defines a range (confidence interval) around the cost
estimate. The approximate 95-percent confidence interval is the estimate plus
or minus twice the standard error. The standard error can also be expressed
as a percent of the cost estimate, or the relative standard error. For
example, the 95-percent confidence interval for a cost estimate of $10 with a
relative standard error of 1.0 percent would be $10.00 plus or minus 2.0

percent (2 times 1.0 percent) or $9.80 to $10.20. We can be 95 percent
confident that the "true" cost falls within the confidence interval.

The relative standard error is shown with the cost estimates for some
series in the appendix. Relative standard errors for all published estimates
are available upon request. They also will appear in the 1992 ECI annual
bulletin to-be published later this year.. A fuller-explanation of the
relative standard errors is provided in the article "Analyzing employers'
costs for wages, salaries, and benefits" in the October 1987 issue of the

Monthly Labor Review.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Employer costs for employee compensation is a measure of the average cost
per employee hour worked to employers for wages and salaries and benefits.

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 by the
corresponding hours. Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings
before payroll deductions, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work .on
weekends and holidays, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses, and Tump-
sum payments provided in lieu of wage increases. Production bonuses,
incentive earnings, commission payments, and cost-of-living adjustments are
included in straight-time wage and salary rates.

Benefits covered are: Paid leave--paid vacations, holidays, sick leave, and
other leave; Supp lementa pay--premium pay for overtime and work on weekends
and holidays, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses, and lump-sum
payments provided in lieu of wage increases; insurance benefits--life, health,
ard sickness ‘and accident insurance; retirement and savings benefits--pension
and other retirement plans and savings and-thrift. plans; legally re juired
benefits--social security, railroad retirement and supplemental retirement,
railroad unemployment insurance, Federal: and: state unemployment insurance,
workers' compensation, and other benefits required by law, such-as State
temporary disability insurance; and other benefits--severance pay .and
supplemental unemployment plans. my ters .

The Survey

Employer costs for employee compensation cover all occupations in private
industry, excluding farms and households, and State and local governments.
These cost levels are published once a year with the payroll period including
March 12th as the reference period.

The cost levels are based on compensation cost data collected for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI), released quarterly.
Cost data were collected from the ECI's March 1992 sample which consisted of
about 23,000 occupations within 4,500 sample establishments in private
industry and 7,000 occupations within 1,000 establishments in State and local
governments. The sample establishments are classified in industry categories
based on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, as defined
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Within an establishment,
specific job categories are selected to represent broader major occupational
groups such as professional specialty and technical occupations.

The cost levels are calculated with current employment weights each year.
In contrast, the ECI, which measures the change in employer costs for employee
compensation, is calculated with fixed employment counts from the 1980 Census
to prevent employment shifts among occupations and industries from influencing
the changes. Therefore, year-to-year changes in the cost levels will differ

from those in the ECI.

EMPLOYER COSTS FOR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION - MARCH 1992

Employer costs for employee compensation in the U.S. economy (private industry
and State and local governments) averaged $17.27 per hour worked in March 1992, the
U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Straight-time
wages and salaries (71.4 percent of the costs) averaged.$12.33 an hour, while: benefit
costs (the remaining 28.6. percent) averaged $4.94. the. : .

This release covers, for the first time, employer compensation costs for State
and local government employees, as well as for private industry workers.

Legally required benefits (e.g., social security, workers' compensation,
unemployment insurance) averaged $1.46 per hour worked--the largest cost to employers
among the benefit categories. Legally required benefits accounted for 8.5 percent of
total compensation costs and nearly one-third of all benefit costs. (See table 1.)

. Other important benefit categories and their average costs per hour worked were:
Insurance ($1.23), paid leave ($1.20), retirement and savings (67 cents), and
supplemental pay (36 cents), which includes premium pay for overtime, shift pay,
nonproduction bonuses, and Jump-sum payments provided in lieu of wage increases.

Private industry

: In private industry, March 1992 employer costs averaged $16.14 per hour worked,
straight-time wages and salaries $11.58 per hour, and benefit costs $4.55 per hour.
(See table 3.) Compensation costs varied widely by industry and occupational group,
union status, establishment employment size, and geographic region. Highlights for
private industry follow:

Compensation costs averaged more for workers in goods-producing industries
($19.38 per hour worked) than for those in service-producing industries ($14.99).
(See table 7.) In goods-producing industries, compensation cost levels ranged from
$17.10 in nondurable goods manufacturing to $20.77 in durable goods manufacturing.
Among service-producing industries, compensation costs ranged from $9.07 in retail
trade to $22.91 in transportation and public utilities.

Among occupational categories, average compensation costs were higher for white-
collar occupations ($18.95) than for blue-collar occupations ($15.88) and service
