                                 EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX - DECEMBER 2010

     Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 0.4 percent, seasonally adjusted, for the
3-month period ending December 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Both
wages and salaries (which make up about 70 percent of compensation costs) and benefits (which
make up the remaining 30 percent of compensation) increased 0.4 percent.

Civilian Workers

     Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 2.0 percent for the 12-month period ending
December 2010. This was higher than in December 2009, when the increase was 1.4 percent. Wages
and salaries increased 1.6 percent for the current 12-month period; in December 2009 the increase
was 1.5 percent. Benefit costs accelerated to 2.9 percent, up from a 1.5 percent increase for the
12-month period ending December 2009 due primarily to increases in retirement costs.

Private Industry Workers

     Compensation costs for private industry workers increased 2.1 percent over the year, higher
than the 1.2 percent increase for the previous 12-month period. The wage and salary series
increased 1.8 percent for the current 12-month period.  The change for the period ending December
2009 was 1.3 percent. The cost of benefits increased 2.9 percent for the 12-month period ending
December 2010, higher than the December 2009 increase of 0.9 percent. Employer costs for health
benefits rose 5.0 percent for the 12-month period ending December 2010. In December 2009, the
12-month percent change was 4.3 percent.

     Among occupational groups, compensation cost increases for private industry workers for the
12-month period ending December 2010 ranged from 1.5 percent for service occupations to 2.4
percent for production, transportation, and material moving occupations.

     Among industry supersectors, compensation cost increases for private industry workers for
the current 12-month period ranged from 0.9 percent for construction to 2.8 percent for
manufacturing.

State and Local Government Workers

     Compensation cost increases for State and local government workers decelerated to 1.8 percent
for the 12-month period ending December 2010, down from 2.3 percent for the 12-month period ending
December 2009. Prior to this quarter, values for this series--which began in June 1982--ranged
from 1.7 percent in June 2010 to 9.6 percent in June 1982. The slowdown in compensation was due
to wages and salaries, which increased 1.2 percent. Prior values for this series, which also began
in June 1982, ranged from 1.2 percent in September 2010 to 8.5 percent in June 1982. Benefit costs
increased 2.9 percent. Prior values for this series, which began in June 1990, ranged from 1.2
percent in December 1997 to 8.3 percent in June 1990.

  1 Includes private industry and State and local government.
  2 Includes wages and salaries and benefits.  TECHNICAL NOTE

     The Employment Cost Index (ECI) measures the change in the cost of labor, free from the
influence of employment shifts among occupations and industries. Detailed information on survey
concepts, coverage, and methods can be found in BLS Handbook of Methods, Chapter 8, "National
Compensation Measures," Bureau of Labor Statistics, on the Internet at
www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf.

Sample size

     Data for the December 2010 reference period were collected from a probability sample of
approximately 63,000 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 12,900
establishments in private industry and approximately 11,500 occupations from a sample of about
1,800 establishments in State and local governments.

Health insurance data

     Data from the ECI that provides 12-month percent changes in employer costs for health
insurance in private industry are also available at www.bls.gov/ect/sp/echealth.pdf.

Historical listings

     Historical listings that provide all ECI data are available at www.bls.gov/ect/#tables.
Included among these listings is one that provides continuous occupational and industry series.
This listing uses the Standard Industrial Classification Manual and Census of Population series
through 2005 and the North American Industry Classification System and Standard Occupational
Classification from 2006 to the present. It provides the official series from the beginning of
the ECI in 1975 through the current quarter. For more information on the criteria used in defining
continuous series, see the article published in the Monthly Labor Review at
www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2006/04/art2full.pdf.

Employer Costs for Employee Compensation data

     The costs per hour worked of compensation components, based on data from the ECI, are
published in a separate news release titled "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation" (ECEC).
The next ECEC release is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (EST), Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Historical
ECEC data are available in summary documents. Since the ECEC is calculated with current
employment weights rather than the fixed weights used in computing the ECI, year-to-year changes
in the cost levels usually differ from those in the ECI.  Table 1.
