People are asking...
Is the ECI adjusted for inflation?
Answer: The ECI data found in the news releases are not
inflation-adjusted. However, constant dollar ECI data are available. See
Historical Listings under Tables Created by
BLS.
What is the Employment Cost index for individual
occupations in the U.S.?
Answer: The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is not produced by local area,
or by individual occupation. We have occupational pay data by local area
and region as a part of our National Compensation
Survey. The Occupational Employment
Statistics program also has data by local area.
How can I get annualized ECI data?
Answer: The Employment Cost Index does not provide annualized data. The
12-month changes for each quarter are the closest alternative. For
example, the 12-month change for the December quarter includes data for
the period including the 12th of the month (December 12th).
What's the average raise?
Answer: We don't have data on average raises. But we do produce the
Employment Cost Index (ECI) , which measures the changes in the cost of
labor, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupations and
industries.
