Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request— 

Voice phone: (202) 691-5200; Federal Relay Service: (800) 877-8339.

BLS news releases, including the ECI, are available through an email subscription service at

www.bls.gov/bls/list.htm.

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, methods, nonresponse adjustment, and imputation can be found in the BLS Handbook of 

Methods, Chapter 8, “National Compensation Measures,” at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf. 

Sample size

Data for the June 2017 reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately 

27,700 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 6,700 private industry establishments 

and approximately 8,100 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 1,400 state and 

local government establishments that provided data at the initial interview.

Standard errors

To assist users in ascertaining the reliability of Employment Cost Index (ECI) series, standard errors of 

all current quarter estimates except seasonally adjusted series are made available shortly after 

publication of the news release. 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. For further information see

www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/ectvar.htm.

Health insurance data

Twelve-month percent changes in employer costs for health insurance in private industry are available at 

www.bls.gov/web/eci/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). These releases are 

issued 3 months after the reference period. The ECEC release dates are available at

www.bls.gov/schedule/2017/home.htm. Historical ECEC data are available in summary documents 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. 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.
