(EDT), TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1996 EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX -- JUNE 1996 The Employment Cost Index (ECI) increased 0.7 percent before seasonal adjustment in the 3 months ended in June 1996, the U.S. Department of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The June 1996 ECI level of 129.2 (June 1989=100) was 2.9 percent higher than in June 1995. 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 March-June 1996 period, the same as the December 1995-March 1996 period. (See table A below.) ECI wages and salaries rose 0.9 percent in the March 1996-June 1996 period, about the same as the 1.0 percent increase for the December 1995-March 1996 period. Benefit costs increased 0.7 percent for the quarter compared with no change for the December 1995-March 1996 quarter. Table A.

See below for an explanation of these corrections. * ******************************************************************** Over the year changes, unadjusted Compensation costs for civilian workers (not seasonally adjusted) increased 2.9 percent for the year ended in June 1996, the same as for the year ended in June 1995. Compensation costs for private industry workers rose 2.9 percent, while state and local government rose 2.6 percent. For private industry workers, wages and salaries increased 3.4 percent, up from 2.9 percent for the June 1994-June 1995 period. This was the largest 12-month increase since March 1992. Benefit costs increased 1.7 percent, compared with a 2.6 percent increase for the June 1994-June 1995 period. This moderation in benefit-cost increases reflected lower costs for health benefits, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation. For the year ended in June 1996, compensation costs in service-producing industries increased 3.0 percent compared with 2.7 percent for goods-producing industries. Wages and salaries increased 3.5 percent in service-producing industries, compared with 3.0 percent in goods-producing industries. In contrast, benefit increases were larger for goods-producing industries, 2.0 percent, than for service-producing industries, 1.6 percent. Compensation costs for white-collar workers increased 3.0 percent compared with 2.6 percent for blue-collar workers and 2.0 percent for service occupations. Among the major occupational groups, sales occupations had the largest increase, at 3.7 percent, while machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors had the lowest increase, at 1.9 percent. Compensation cost gains over the year ended in June 1996 were higher for union workers (3.1 percent) than for nonunion workers (2.8 percent). This pattern held for the service-producing industries (3.7 percent for union and 2.8 percent for nonunion), but not for goods-producing industries (2.5 percent for union and 2.8 percent for nonunion). -------------------------------------------------------------- ECI data for September 1996 is scheduled to be released Tuesday, October 29, 1996, at 8:30 A.M.

BLS regrets any problems the errors may have caused the public and has taken steps to prevent a recurrence. The corrected data are little changed from the originally published figures for wages and salaries in the broader categories of workers, such as civilian, private industry, and state and local government. Corrections were, however, greater for the benefits series in both periods. (See table B.) The errors had a more significant impact on some of the detailed breakouts of workers, such as by occupation, industry, and union-nonunion status. This was true for all three measures -- total compensation, wages and salaries, and benefits. Tables showing all of the corrected data for December 1995 and March 1996 are available from BLS by calling 202-606-6199 or by accessing them from the Internet at http://stats.bls.gov/ecthome/corrdata.htm.

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, sickness and accident, and long-term disability); retirement and savings benefits (defined benefit and defined contribution); legally required benefits (social security, Federal and State unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and other legally required benefits such as State temporary disability); and other benefits (severance pay and supplemen tal 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 probabil ity sample of nearly 21,000 occupations within about 4,100 sample establishments in private industry and nearly 6,000 occupations within about 900 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. From June 1986 through December 1994, the jobs were 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. Beginning with March 1995, the jobs are classified according to the 1990 Census, which differs little from the 1980 Census. 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. Beginning in March 1995, 1990 employment counts primarily from the Bureau's Occupational Employment Survey were used. A description of the reweighting is included in an article "Introducing 1990 Weights for the Employment Cost Index," that was published in the June 1995 issue of Compensation and Working Conditions and that is available upon request. From June 1986 through December 1994, employment counts from the 1980 Census were 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 September 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 construc tion 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 1995 data from the ECI, are published in a separate news release titled "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 1995." 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 1990 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, 1975-95, (Bulletin 2466); 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.
