(EST), TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1994 EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX -- DECEMBER 1993 The Employment Cost Index (ECI) increased 0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment in the 3 months ended in December 1993, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The December 1993 ECI level of 120.2 (June 1989=100) was 3.5 percent higher than in December 1992. 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 0.8 percent in the September-December 1993 period, the same as in the June- September 1993 period. (See box below.) ECI wages and salaries rose 0.7 percent in the September-December 1993 period, about the same as the 0.8 percent increase for the June-September 1993 period and in line with the quarterly increases for the last 2 years. Benefit costs rose 1.0 percent, about the same as the 0.9 percent increase for the June-September 1993 quarter, but lower than the quarterly increases over the last several years.

(See table 2.) This pattern held for private industry workers (3.6 percent in 1993, compared with 3.5 percent in 1992) but not for state and local government workers (2.8 percent, down from 3.7 percent). (See table 3.) For private industry workers in the year ended in December 1993, wages and salaries rose 3.1 percent, up from 2.6 percent for the year ended in December 1992. Benefit cost increases moderated slightly to 5.0 percent, from 5.2 percent. (See chart on page 3.) This moderation in benefit cost gains reflected a continuing slowdown in the rate of gain in health and workers' compensation insurance costs (which continued to rise more rapidly than other benefit costs) and pension costs. Increases in wages and salaries and benefit costs for state and local government workers in the year ended in December 1993 slowed from the gains in 1992. Wages rose 2.7 percent, compared with 3.0 percent in 1992. Benefit costs increased 2.9 percent, down from 5.4 percent, due primarily to a slowdown in the rate of gain in health insurance and pension costs. For the year ended in December 1993, compensation cost increases in private industry were higher for goods-producing industries than for service-producing industries (3.9 percent compared with 3.6 percent). Compensation cost gains in goods-producing industries ranged from 2.4 percent for construction to 4.5 percent for durable goods manufacturing. Within the service-producing industries, compensation cost increases ranged from 2.3 percent for business services to 5.7 percent for banking, savings and loan, and other credit agencies. Over the year 1993, compensation cost increases in private industry were higher for white- and blue-collar occupations (both 3.7 percent) than service occupations (3.1 percent). White-collar gains ranged from 3.3 percent for professional specialty and technical occupations to 4.1 percent for administrative support, including clerical. Blue-collar gains ranged from 3.3 percent for handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and laborers to 4.3 percent for machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors. Compensation cost gains over the year ended in December 1993 were higher for union workers (4.3 percent) than for nonunion workers (3.5 percent). This pattern held for both the goods-producing and service- producing industries. *************************************************************************** * * * The formats of the tables have been changed with this * * release.

(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 occupations 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 differentials, 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 unemploy ment insurance, Federal and State unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, 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 probability sample of over 23,000 occupations within over 4,600 sample establishments in private industry and about 7,000 occupa tions within 1,000 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. Since June 1986, the jobs have been classified according to definitions used in the 1980 Census. Prior to June 1986, they were classified according 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. 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. Since June 1986, employment counts from the 1980 Census have been 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, conse quently, 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 Employment 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 aggregate 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 1993 data from the ECI, are published in a separate news release titled "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 1993." 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 1980 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, 1975-93, (Bulletin 2434); 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 available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or Bureau of Labor Statistics, Publications Sales Center, P.O. Box 2145, Chicago, Illinois 60690. Reprints of the articles plus other descriptive pieces and a complete historical listing are available upon request. ECI historical data are also available on data diskettes. Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
