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. For information on survey concepts, 

coverage, methods, nonresponse adjustment, and imputation see National Compensation Measures

Handbook of Methods at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/ncs/home.htm.

Sample size

Data for this reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately 29,800

occupational observations selected from a sample of about 7,400 private industry establishments and 

approximately 7,700 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 1,400 state and local 

government establishments that provided data at the initial interview. Beginning December 2021, an 

additional (fourth) private industry sample is used in estimation to mitigate the impact of decreasing 

response rates.

Standard errors

To assist users in ascertaining the reliability of ECI series, standard errors of all current quarter not

seasonally adjusted 3- and 12-month percent change series are also available, see

www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/ectvar.htm and the database query tool at www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/data.htm. 

Standard errors provide users a measure of the precision of an estimate to ensure that it is within an 

acceptable range for their intended purpose.

Historical listings

Historical listings are available at www.bls.gov/ect/#tables. The continuous occupational and industry 

series listing uses the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual and Occupational 

Classification System (OCS) series from 1975 through 2005 and the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) and Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) from 2006 to the 

present. It provides the official series deemed continuous after the change in classification systems. 

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 are published as part of the Employer Costs 

for Employee Compensation (ECEC) news release. The ECEC release dates are available at

www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/ecec.htm. Historical ECEC data are available in xlsx format at 

www.bls.gov/ect/#tables. 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.

Fixed employment weights

For additional information on the use of fixed employment weights in computing the ECI, see 

www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2016/article/introducing-2012-fixed-employment-weights-for-theemployment-cost-index.htm.

Additional information

Starting with the ECI March 2022 release, inflation-adjusted or constant dollar estimates are available 

in the database at www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/data.htm. ECI release dates are available on the release 

calendar at www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/eci.htm. Subscribe to receive the BLS Economic 

News Release email at public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDOLBLS/subscriber/new. If you are deaf,
