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 March 2010 reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately 63,300 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 13,300 establishments in private industry and approximately 11,600 occupations from a sample of about 1,800 establishments in State and local governments. Health insurance data Data from the ECI that provides 12-month percent changes in employer costs for health insurance in private industry are also available at www.bls.gov/ect/sp/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 AM EDT, Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Historical ECEC data are available in summary documents. 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.
