                                    EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX - JUNE 2010

     Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 0.5 percent, seasonally adjusted, for the 3-month
period ending June 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Wages and salaries (which make
up about 70 percent of compensation costs) increased 0.4 percent while benefits (which make up the remaining
30 percent of compensation) increased 0.6 percent.

Civilian Workers

     Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 1.8 percent for the 12-month period ending June 2010.
This was the same as the 12-month period ending in June 2009. Wages and salaries increased 1.6 percent for
the current 12-month period, compared to a 1.8 percent increase for the 12-month period ending in June 2009.
Benefit costs rose 2.5 percent, up from a 1.8 percent increase for the 12-month period ending June 2009.

Private Industry Workers

     Compensation costs for private industry workers increased 1.9 percent for the 12-month period ending
June 2010, higher than the 1.5 percent increase for the 12-month period ending June 2009. The wage and
salary series increased 1.6 percent for the current 12-month period, the same as for the period ending June
2009. The cost of benefits increased 2.5 percent for the 12-month period ending June 2010, higher than the
June 2009 increase of 1.3 percent. Employer costs for health benefits rose 5.0 percent for the 12-month
period ending June 2010. In June 2009, the 12-month percent change was 4.4 percent.

     Among occupational groups, compensation cost increases for private industry workers for the 12-month
period ending June 2010 ranged from 1.5 percent for management, professional, and related occupations to
2.3 percent for sales and office occupations. The sales and office increase was primarily due to a 2.9
percent increase among sales and related occupations, which rebounded from a 1.6 percent decrease a year
earlier. The other component of sales and office occupations--office and administrative support--increased
2.0 percent.

     Among industry supersectors, compensation cost increases for private industry workers for the current
12-month period ranged from 1.0 percent for construction to 2.6 percent for trade, transportation, and
utilities.

State and Local Government Workers

     Compensation costs for State and local government workers increased 1.8 percent for the 12-month period
ending June 2010. Since this series began in June 1982, published values ranged from 2.0 percent in March
2010 to 9.6 percent in June 1982. Wages and salaries increased 1.4 percent. This series also began in June
1982. Prior published values ranged from 1.8 in March 2010 to 8.5 percent in June 1982. Benefit costs
increased 2.6 percent. Prior published values for this series, which began in June 1990, ranged from 1.2
percent in December 1997 to 8.3 percent in June 1990.

                                             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 June 2010 reference period were collected from a probability sample of approximately
62,800 occupational observations selected from a sample of about 13,200 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, September 8, 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.
