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 25,500

occupational observations selected from a sample of about 6,300 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. 

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 Manual and Occupational Classification 

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

Standard Occupational Classification 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 news release (ECEC). The ECEC release dates are available at 

www.bls.gov/schedule/news_release/ecec.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. 

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.

Seasonal factors 

Detailed information on seasonal factors for the 2020 reference year and the revisions of historical 

seasonally adjusted data for the most recent five years can be found at 

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