                  EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX --JUNE 1995
 
The Employment Cost Index (ECI) increased 0.6 percent before seasonal
adjustment in the 3 months ended in June 1995, the U.S. Department of
Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.  The June 1995 ECI
level of 125.6 (June 1989=100) was 2.9 percent higher than in June
1994.  The ECI measures changes in compensation costs, including
wages, salaries, and employer costs for employee benefits.
 
Quarterly changes, seasonally adjusted
 
On a seasonally adjusted basis, ECI compensation costs rose 0.7
percent in the March-June 1995 period, about the same as the 0.6
percent gain in the December 1994-March 1995 period.  (See table A
below.) ECI wages and salaries also rose 0.7 percent in the March-June
1995 period, about the same as the 0.8 percent increase for the
December 1994-March 1995 period.  Benefit costs rose 0.7 percent, up
from 0.2 percent in December 1994-March 1995, but in line with in 
creases over the past several years.

Over-the-year changes, unadjusted
 
Compensation costs for civilian workers (not seasonally adjusted)
increased 2.9 percent for the year ended in June 1995, the same as for
the year ended in March 1995.  This stability in the rate of compensa 
tion cost gain in the two time periods was found for both state and
local governments and private industry.
 
For private industry workers, compensation costs rose 2.8 percent for
the year ended in June 1995, about the same as the gain for the year
ended in March.  Wage and salary increases for the year ended in June
1995 were the same as for the year ended in March (2.9 percent).  A
moderation in benefit cost gains (2.6 percent, down from 2.9 percent)
reflected a continuing slowdown in the rate of increase in health,
workers' compensation, and state unemployment insurance costs.  The
2.6 percent increase was the lowest since this series began in 1980.
 
For the year ended in June 1995, compensation cost increases in
private industry were higher for service-producing industries than for
goods-producing industries (3.1 percent and 2.4 percent, respec 
tively).  Among the service-producing industries, the gains ranged
from 0.1 percent in food stores to 4.5 percent in transportation.  In
the goods-producing industries, the gains ranged from 1.5 percent in
construction to 3.2 percent in durable goods manufacturing.  (See
table 3.)
 
Compensation cost increases in private industry were higher for
white-collar occupations (3.0 percent) than for blue-collar (2.6
percent) or service occupations (2.5 percent).  White-collar gains
ranged from 2.5 percent for professional, specialty, and technical
occupations to 3.4 percent for executive, administrative, and
managerial occupations.  Blue-collar gains ranged from 2.1 percent for
machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors to 3.2 percent for
handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and laborers.
 
Compensation cost gains over the year ended in June 1995 were higher
for nonunion workers (2.9 percent) than for union workers (2.3 per 
cent).  Goods- and service-producing industries showed different
patterns, however.  For goods-producing industries, compensation costs
rose 2.7 percent for nonunion workers and 1.7 percent for union
workers.  Corresponding figures for service-producing industries were
both 3.1 percent.

       _______________________________________________________
 
ECI data for September 1995 will be released on Tuesday, October 31,
1995, at 8:30 A.M. (EDT).
                           EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a measure of the change in the cost
of labor, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupa 
tions and industries.  The compensation series includes changes in
wages and salaries and employer costs for employee benefits.  The wage
and salary series and the benefit cost series provide the change for
the two components of compensation.
 
Wages and salaries are defined as the hourly straight-time wage rate
or, for workers not paid on an hourly basis, straight-time earnings
divided by the corresponding hours.  Straight-time wage and salary
rates are total earnings before payroll deductions, excluding premium
pay for overtime and for work on weekends and holidays, shift dif 
ferentials, and nonproduction bonuses such as lump-sum payments
provided in lieu of wage increases.  Production bonuses, incentive
earnings, commission payments, and cost-of-living adjustments are
included in straight-time wage and salary rates.
 
Benefits covered by the ECI are:  Paid leave (vacations, holidays,
sick leave, and other leave); supplemental pay (premium pay for
overtime, shift differentials, and nonproduction bonuses such as
lump-sum payments provided in lieu of wage increases); insurance
benefits (life, health, and sickness and accident); retirement and
savings benefits (pension and other retirement plans and savings and
thrift plans); legally required benefits (social security, railroad
retirement and supplemental retirement, railroad unemployment in 
surance, Federal and State unemployment insurance, workers' compensa 
tion, and other legally required benefits such as State temporary
disability); and other benefits (severance pay and supplemental
unemployment plans).
 
The ECI provides data for the civilian economy, which includes the
total private economy and the public sector--excluding farms,
households, and the Federal government.  The private industry series
and the State and local government series provide data for the two
sectors separately.
 
Each quarter, straight-time average hourly wage and salary rates and
benefit cost data (cents-per-hour-worked) are collected from a prob 
ability sample of nearly 22,000 occupations within over 4,200 sample
establishments in private industry and nearly 6,000 occupations within
about 900 sample establishments in State and local governments.  Data are
collected for the pay period including the 12th day of the survey
months of March, June, September, and December.
 
The sample establishments are classified in industry categories based
on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), as defined by
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
 
Within an establishment, specific job categories are selected to
represent broader occupational definitions.  From June 1986 through
December 1994, the jobs were classified according to definitions used
in the 1980 Census.  Prior to June 1986, they were classified accord 
ing to the 1970 Census.  Differences between the two classification
systems are slight, as indicated in the article "Introducing new
weights for the Employment Cost Index," in the June 1985 issue of the
Monthly Labor Review.  Beginning with March 1995, the jobs are class 
ified according to the 1990 Census, which differs little from the 1980
Census.
 
Fixed employment weights are used each quarter to calculate the most
aggregate indexes--civilian, private, and State and local governments.
These fixed weights are also used to derive all of the industry and
occupation series indexes.  Beginning in March 1995, 1990 employment
counts primarily from the Bureau's Occupational Employment Survey were
used.  A description of the reweighting is included in an article
"Introducing 1990 Weights for the Employment Cost Index," that was
published in the June 1995 issue of Compensation and Working Condi 
tions and that is available upon request.  From June 1986 through
December 1994, employment counts from the 1980 Census were used as
weights.  Prior to June 1986, employment counts from the 1970 Census
were used.
 
For the series based on bargaining status, region, or area size,
employment data are not available from the Census.  The employment
weights are reallocated within these series each quarter based on the
current ECI sample.  The indexes for these series, consequently, are
not strictly comparable to those for the aggregate, industry, and
occupation series.  A fuller explanation of the calculation of index
numbers appears in an article, "Estimation procedures for the Employ 
ment Cost Index," in the May 1982 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
 
Beginning with the March 1990 ECI release, indexes were rebased to
June 1989=100.  A description of the rebasing is included in the
article "Employment Cost Index Rebased to June 1989," in the April
1990 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
 
Beginning with the December 1990 ECI release, seasonally adjusted data
are available for selected ECI series.  Seasonal adjustment removes
the effects of events that follow a more or less regular pattern each
year.  These adjustments make nonseasonal patterns easier to spot.
ECI series are seasonally adjusted using either direct or composite
seasonally adjusted estimates.  Industry and occupational series, such
as construction and service occupations, are adjusted directly.  More
aggregate series, such as civilian or private industry workers, use
composite estimates.  The composite estimates could be obtained by
aggregating either the industry or the occupational components, and
the results may differ depending on which method is used.  The ag 
gregate seasonally adjusted ECI series are estimated by aggregating
the component seasonally adjusted industry series, so they are not
necessarily a weighted average of the component occupation series.
 
The costs per hour worked of compensation components, based on March
1995 data from the ECI, are published in a separate news release
titled "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 1995."  A
description of the cost levels is provided in the article "Analyzing
employers' costs for wages, salaries, and benefits" in the October
1987 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.  The cost levels, which are
published annually in mid-June, are calculated with current employment
weights, rather than the fixed 1990 Census weights used in computing
the ECI.  Therefore, year-to-year changes in the cost levels will
usually differ from those in the ECI.
 
More detailed information on the ECI is available in several sources.
These include an annual bulletin, Employment Cost Indexes and Levels,
1975-94, (Bulletin 2447); a chapter in the BLS Handbook of Methods
(Bulletin 2414), "The Employment Cost Index;" and several articles
published in the Monthly Labor Review.  The annual bulletin is avail 
able from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or Bureau of Labor Statistics, Publi 
cations Sales Center, P.O. Box 2145, Chicago, Illinois 60690.
