TECHNICAL NOTE

loyer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC) measures the average cost to employers for wagessalaries and benefits per employee hour worked.

C includes the civilian economy, which includes data from both private industry and state and localernment. Excluded from private industry are the self-employed and farm and private householdkers. Federal government workers are excluded from the public sector. The private industry seriesthe state and local government series provide data for the two sectors separately.

cost levels for this quarter were collected from a probability sample of approximately 43,900upations selected from a sample of about 9,000 establishments in private industry and approximately0 occupations from a sample of about 1,400 establishments in state and local government.

paring private and public sector data

pensation cost levels in state and local government should not be directly compared with levels invate industry. Differences between these sectors stem from factors such as variation in work activitiesoccupational structures. Manufacturing and sales, for example, make up a large part of privateustry work activities but are rare in state and local government. Professional and administrativeport occupations (including teachers) account for two-thirds of the state and local government

kforce, compared with one-half of private industry.

inning in December 2013, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation estimates are based on 2010 No substantive changes occurred in occupational coverage for about 90 percent of the detailed
