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 June 2014 reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately 

43,700 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 8,900 establishments in private 

industry and approximately 8,900 occupational observations from a sample of about 1,400 

establishments in state and local government. 

Health insurance data 

Data from the ECI that provide 12-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). The next ECEC 

release is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (EDT), Wednesday, September 10, 2014. 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. 

Updated employment weights and methodology changes 

Fixed employment weights are used each quarter to calculate aggregate indexes for civilian, private, and 

state and local government. These fixed weights are also used to derive all of the industry and 

occupation series indexes. Beginning in December 2013, the 2012 employment counts from the 

Bureau’s Occupational Employment Statistics were used. Additional methodology changes include a 

partial implementation of the new NCS national sample design and adjustments to aggregate seasonally 

adjusted series. For more information, please contact the National Compensation Survey at 202-691-

6199 or ncsinfo@bls.gov.
