(EDT), TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1994 EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX -- SEPTEMBER 1994 The Employment Cost Index (ECI) increased 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment in the 3 months ended in September 1994, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The September 1994 ECI level of 123.3 (June 1989=100) was 3.2 percent higher than the index in September 1993. 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, the ECI rose 0.7 percent in the June- September 1994 quarter, compared with a 0.9 percent gain in the March-June 1994 quarter. Compensation cost increases have been in the 0.7-1.0 percent range since September 1991. Wage and salary gains, 0.7 percent in June-September 1994, also have varied within a relatively small range over the past 3 years. Benefit costs rose 1.0 percent in June-September 1994, in line with increases in the past year but below those in the preceding 6 years. Table A.

Both compensation costs and wages and salaries rose 0.8 percent in June- September 1994, about the same as the 0.9 percent increase in March-June 1994 and in line with increases over the past 3 years. Benefit cost gains (1.1 percent) were similar to those over the past year. Compensation cost increases for state and local government workers, in contrast, slowed to 0.6 percent in June-September 1994, down from 0.9 percent in the preceding quarter. This slowdown was due primarily to smaller gains in benefit costs (0.5 percent in June-September 1994, down from 1.3 percent). Over-the-year changes, unadjusted Compensation costs (not seasonally adjusted) increased 3.2 percent for the year ended in September 1994, the same as the gains for the years ended in both March and June 1994. These increases are the lowest since the series began in 1981. This pattern of moderate increases held for both private industry workers (3.3 percent in September 1993-94 and 3.4 percent in June 1993-94) and state and local governments (3.0 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively). Private industry workers' wage and salary gains slowed from 3.1 percent in June 1993-94 to 2.9 percent in September 1993-94. This slowdown was due largely to sales workers; excluding sales workers, the wage and salary increases were about the same in the two periods (2.9 percent and 3.0 percent). For the year ended September 1994, compensation cost gains in private industry were about the same in goods-producing industries (3.3 percent) and service-producing industries (3.2 percent). Compensation cost increases in goods-producing industries ranged from 2.9 percent in nondurable goods manufacturing to 3.9 percent in construction. Gains in service-producing industries ranged from 2.3 percent in health services to 4.3 percent in transportation. Over-the-year compensation cost increases in private industry were higher for white-collar workers (3.4 percent) than for blue-collar workers (3.0 percent) or service workers (2.4 percent). Compensation cost increases for white-collar occupations ranged from 3.1 percent for sales workers to 3.8 percent for executive, administrative, and managerial occupations. Within blue-collar occupations, compensation cost gains ranged from 2.4 percent for machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors to 3.8 percent for transportation and material moving occupations. Compensation cost increases over the year ended September 1994 were about the same for union (3.2 percent) and nonunion workers (3.3 percent). There was, however, a very different pattern in goods-producing than in service- producing industries. In goods-producing industries, union increases averaged 2.8 percent, compared with 3.5 percent for nonunion workers; in service- producing industries, union gains averaged 3.6 percent compared with 3.2 percent for nonunion. ************************************************************************ * * * Beginning with the March 1995 news release, ECI estimates will be * * based on 1990 counts of occupational employment by industry, rather * * than on 1980 employment counts. * * * ************************************************************************ ----------------------------------------- ECI data for December 1994 will be released on Tuesday, January 31, 1994, at 8:30 A.M. (EST). 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 unemployment 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 nearly 22,000 occupations within over 4,200 sample establishments in private industry and nearly 7,000 occupations 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, 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 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 1994." 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, 1975-94, (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 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.
