TECHNICAL NOTE

Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), a product of the National Compensation Survey, 

provides the average employer cost for wages and salaries as well as benefits per hour worked. The 

ECEC covers the civilian economy, which includes data from both private industry and state and local 

government. Excluded from private industry are the self-employed, private household workers, and the 

agricultural sector. Federal government workers are excluded from the public sector.

Total benefit costs consist of five major categories and include 18 benefit costs:

• Paid leave - vacation, holiday, sick, and personal leave;

• Supplemental pay - overtime and premium, shift differentials, and nonproduction bonuses;

• Insurance - life, health, short-term and long-term disability;

• Retirement and savings - defined benefit and defined contribution; and

• Legally required benefits - Social Security [refers to Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability

Insurance (OASDI) program], Medicare, federal and state unemployment insurance, and

workers’ compensation.

All workers are included in the benefit cost estimates including those that do not have plan access or do 

not participate. Costs are also affected by other factors such as cost sharing between employers and 

employees, plan features, and plan generosity. For the latest information on the percentage of workers 

with access to and participating in employer-sponsored benefit plans, including health care and 

retirement and savings plans, see www.bls.gov/ebs. 

The National Compensation Measures provides additional details on the sample design, calculation 

methodology, and resources explaining changes over time, see www.bls.gov/opub/hom/ncs/home.htm. 

Sample size: Data for this reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately 

29,600 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. 

Measures of reliability: Relative standard errors (RSEs) provide users a tool to ascertain the quality of 

an estimate to ensure that it is within an acceptable range for their intended purpose. RSEs are available 

at www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/ecec-rse.htm and database query tool at www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/data.htm. 

Comparisons: Compensation costs for state and local government should not be directly compared

with costs for the private industry. Differences between these sectors stem from factors such as

variation in work activities and occupational structures. 

Classification systems: The National Compensation Survey publishes estimates of compensation costs 

and trends as well as benefit coverage by ownership, industry group, occupational group, and 

geographic areas, see www.bls.gov/ncs/national-compensation-survey-classification-systems-mappingfiles.htm. 

Additional information: Additional and historical ECEC estimates are available in the ECEC database 

query tool at www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/data.htm and in xlsx format at www.bls.gov/ncs/ect/tables.htm. The 

2022 ECEC release schedule is available at www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/ecec.htm. Subscribe to
