General Description of the ECI

The BLS Employment Cost Index Explanatory Note explains:

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.

The June 2000 ECI includes an expanded definition of nonproduction bonuses designed to improve representation of compensation packages offered to employees. In addition to the traditional types of nonproduction bonuses such as attendance bonuses and lump sum payments, the June ECI includes hiring and referral bonuses.

The entire explanatory note is available at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/eci.tn.htm
