Total compensation costs for civilian workers increased 1.0 percent from June
to September 2006, seasonally adjusted, virtually unchanged from the 0.9 percent gain
from March to June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. Benefit costs between June and September rose 1.1 percent, compared
with the gain of 0.8 percent from the previous quarter. Wages and salaries increased
0.9 percent during the quarter, unchanged from the gain of the previous quarter.
The Employment Cost Index (ECI), a component of the National Compensation Survey, measures
quarterly changes in compensation costs, which include wages, salaries, and employer
costs for employee benefits for civilian workers (nonfarm private industry and state and
local government).
Increases in benefit costs accounted for one-third of the rise in compensation costs
for civilian workers from June to September 2006. Among private industry workers, benefit
costs attributed about one-fourth of the compensation gains during the quarter.
Among state and local government workers, benefit costs comprised approximately two-fifths
of the compensation cost gains during the June to September quarter. Health insurance
costs and defined benefit contributions represented over one-quarter of the gain in
compensation costs for state and local government workers from June to September 2006.
Quarterly changes, seasonally adjusted
Compensation costs for the private sector rose 0.9 percent from June to September, after
advancing 0.8 percent in the prior quarter. For state and local government workers,
compensation costs increased 1.4 percent from June to September, after increasing
1.1 percent for the quarter ended in June. (See tables A and 1.)
Wages and salaries of civilian workers increased 0.9 percent during the September
quarter, unchanged from the gain of the June quarter. Wages and salaries for private
industry workers rose 0.8 percent for the September quarter, compared with an increase of
0.9 percent in the prior quarter. Wages and salaries in state and local government
advanced 1.4 percent during the June to September period, higher than the 0.9 percent
gain in the prior quarter. (See tables A and 2.)
Benefit costs advanced 1.1 percent for civilian workers in the September
quarter, compared with a 0.8 percent gain in the June quarter. Private sector benefit
costs rose 1.0 percent for the September quarter, following a 0.7 percent gain in the
previous quarter. Benefit costs for state and local government workers increased 1.5
percent in the September quarter, unchanged from the gain in June. (See tables A and 3.)

Mercer
As retirement lifestyle expectations fall, savings stress rises
United States
New York, 30 October 2006
http://www.mercerhr.com/pressrelease/details.jhtml/dynamic/idContent/1247510
Employees are scaling back their expectations and ambitions for life in retirement, as they recognize that they are not saving enough to support the lifestyle they envisioned. This is according to the latest version of the Mercer Workplace SurveyTM, a national study of employee attitudes and behaviors around their company sponsored benefits plans conducted annually by Mercer HR Services. In response, Mercer HR Services is launching the "Stress Less Retirement Program" to help 401(k) plan participants take immediate steps to get back on track to achieving their retirement goals.
This year's Mercer Workplace Survey indicates that 401(k) plan participants are becoming increasingly distracted from the process of saving for retirement. While still the number one savings objective overall, retirement is losing ground to other more immediate financial needs including paying down debt, funding a child's education, and saving for unexpected expenses. The survey shows "saving for retirement" and "just keeping up with my monthly expenses" are virtually tied as participants' biggest economic worry. Coupled with a less optimistic economic outlook that has taken hold among participants, two of three respondents now acknowledge they are not saving enough for retirement. Yet, by almost the same margin they believe they will have time to "catch up on my 401(k) contributions before I retire."
AND MUCH MORE...including CHARTS....

Note: The following paper was presented at the Expert meeting on flexicurity strategies and the implications of their adoption at the European level, Lisbon, September 25, 2006. With the occasion
of the coming German-Portugal-Slovenian presidentship in the EU, it may be important to review.

European flexicurity: concepts (operational definitions), methodology (monitoring instruments), and policies (consistent implementations).
WSI Diskussionspapier 148, Hans Böckler Foundation, Düsseldorf, 60 pp.

[full-text, 60 pages]
Abstract:
http://www.boeckler.de/cps/rde/xchg/SID-3D0AB75D-54D005A6/hbs/hs.xsl/show_product_wsi.html?productfile=HBS-003699.xml
The notion of flexicurity promotes the idea of compensation of labour market deregulation (= flexibilization) with advantages in employment and social security. The paper contains a brief history of the concept and its operational definition. To monitor effects of flexicurity policies in Europe, flexicurity indicators are constructed. The European flexicurity polices are analyzed in the neo-liberal perspective, from the trade-unionist viewpoint, and within the conception of European welfare state. The empirical investigation shows that, contrary to political promises and theoretical considerations, the deregulation of European labour markets is absolutely predominating. A contradiction between several European employment policies is suggested to surmount by introducing a so called flexinsurance, meaning that the employer's contribution to social security should be proportional to the flexibility of the contract/risk of becoming unemployed in conjunction with elements of the basic minimum income model. Constraining the openness of financial markets is also required, otherwise labour markets cannot be kept under control.

[IWS] ILO: GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT TRENDS FOR YOUTH [27 October 2006]

GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT TRENDS FOR YOUTH [27 October 2006]
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/employment/strat/download/gety06en.pdf
[full-text, 58 pages]
[excerpt]
This report adds to growing evidence of a global situation in which young people face
increasing difficulties when entering the labour force. One of the principal findings is that a global
deficit of decent work opportunities has resulted in a situation in which one out of every three youth in
the world is either seeking but unable to find work, has given up the job search entirely or is working
but still living below the US$2 a day poverty line. Without the right foothold from which to start out
right in the labour market, young people are less able to make choices that will improve their own job
prospects and those of their future dependents. This, in turn, perpetuates the cycle of insufficient
education, low-productivity employment and working poverty from one generation to the next. The
report, therefore, adds urgency to the UN call for development of strategies aimed to give young
people a chance to make the most of their productive potential through decent employment.
This report provides empirical research as well as quantitative assessments of the realities of
youth labour markets to build an analytical starting block from which countries can identify the main
challenges facing youth for the process of designing the policies most suited to their particular
situations. At the same time, the data and analyses in the Global Employment Trends for Youth will
strengthen the capacity of the ILOs programme on youth employment to provide assistance to
countries in developing coherent and coordinated interventions on youth employment that are based
on analytical reviews of labour market information.
For further expansion of the youth employment knowledge base, the need is not one of
developing new indicators, but rather finding a way to make use of the indicators that already exist
(labour force participation rates, employment ratios, unemployment rates, employment by status and
by sector, long-term unemployment, underemployment, hours of work and poverty). The challenge,
however, is that, as of now, many of the labour market indicators listed here cannot be applied to
youth because most countries do not provide the data disaggregated by age. The ILO is intensifying its
efforts to gather the data by age groups. This will help to improve the accuracy and reliability of
labour market analyses within a life-cycle perspective.

Web Publication
Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2005 [30 October 2006]
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/killed/2005/
The FBI publishes Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted each year to provide information about the officers who were killed, feloniously or accidentally, and those officers who were assaulted while performing their duties. The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
Data considerations
Before reviewing the tables, charts, and narrative summaries presented in this publication, readers should be aware of certain features of the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data collection process that could affect their interpretation of the information.
* The data in the tables and charts reflect the number of victim officers, not the number of incidents or weapons used.
* The UCR Program considers any part of the body that can be used as weapons (such as hands, fists, or feet) to be personal weapons and designates them as such in its data.
* Law enforcement agencies use different methodologies for collecting and reporting data about officers who were killed and those who were assaulted. As a result, the two databases, and therefore the tables derived from them, are not comparable.
* Because the information in the tables of this publication are updated each year, the FBI cautions readers against making comparisons between the data in this publication and those in prior editions of the publication.
Additional UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS can be found at --

Web Publication
Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2005 [30 October 2006]
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/killed/2005/
The FBI publishes Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted each year to provide information about the officers who were killed, feloniously or accidentally, and those officers who were assaulted while performing their duties. The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
Data considerations
Before reviewing the tables, charts, and narrative summaries presented in this publication, readers should be aware of certain features of the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data collection process that could affect their interpretation of the information.
* The data in the tables and charts reflect the number of victim officers, not the number of incidents or weapons used.
* The UCR Program considers any part of the body that can be used as weapons (such as hands, fists, or feet) to be personal weapons and designates them as such in its data.
* Law enforcement agencies use different methodologies for collecting and reporting data about officers who were killed and those who were assaulted. As a result, the two databases, and therefore the tables derived from them, are not comparable.
* Because the information in the tables of this publication are updated each year, the FBI cautions readers against making comparisons between the data in this publication and those in prior editions of the publication.
Additional UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS can be found at --

Disabilities and Employment
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/employ/disab-work.htm
People with disabilities make up a substantial portion of the workforce and potential workforce of this country. The federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 not only initiated a national effort to use one-stop centers as the primary deliverer of employment, training and basic education services but also included the expectation that Americans with disabilities would have full access to these services.
The U.S. Department of Labor awarded a series of grants to ensure that all of the Department's job-related programs are fully available to people with disabilities. These grants included funding for two technical assistance centers -- one focusing on adults, the other focusing on youth with disabilities. NCSL is a partner in both technical assistance centers. This website contains information on state activities related to helping people with disabilities find and maintain gainful employment.

Projecting Labor Force Participation and Earnings in CBO's Long-Term Microsimulation Model
October 2006
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/76xx/doc7676/10-27-LaborForce.pdf
[full-text, 120 pages]
[excerpt]
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) uses a microsimulation approach to analyze
the budgetary and distributional impact of Social Security and other age-related policy
issues. This background paper provides a detailed description of one important component
in the microsimulation model: the equations used to project labor force participation,
hours worked, unemployment, and earnings outcomes. The paper describes
the estimated relationships in CBO's microsimulation model, the data sets used, the
principles underlying causal effects, and the properties of the projections over time. In
keeping with CBO's mandate to provide objective, nonpartisan analysis, the paper
makes no policy recommendations.

Washington, D.C. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) today issued a new report: AAUP Faculty Gender Equity Indicators 2006. The report provides data on four specific measures of gender equity for faculty at over 1,400 colleges and universities across the country. The individual campus listings included in the report will serve to promote discussion of faculty gender equity at the local level, where the success of existing strategies to improve the situation of women academics can best be evaluated. In this way, the AAUP hopes to move discussions about the full participation of women as faculty from the realm of abstract goals into concrete actions for improvement.
This report is the latest in a series of AAUP initiatives aimed at improving the status of women faculty, dating from the formation of AAUPs Committee W on the Status of Women in College and University Faculties in 1918. Over the intervening decades there has been considerable progressyet equity remains elusive. Thirty-four years after Congress passed Title IX in 1972, prohibiting sex discrimination in education, women earned more than half of all graduate degrees awarded in 2004. Yet, among other findings, the AAUP report indicates that women occupied about 9 percent of full professor positions at four-year colleges and universities in 1972, and were still only 24 percent of all full professors in 2003.
The four indicators compared in the report for men and women faculty are employment status (full- and part-time); tenure status for full-time faculty; promotion to full professor rank; and average salary for full-time faculty. The report consists of three sections: an article on Organizing Around Gender Equity, authored jointly by Professor Martha S. West of the University of California, Davis and John W. Curtis, AAUP Director of Research and Public Policy; aggregate national tables for each of the four equity indicators by type of institution; and an appendix listing the four indicators for each individual college and university. Data for the report are drawn primarily from the AAUP Faculty Compensation Survey, with additional data on part-time faculty from the US Department of Education.
The report is available on our Web site at

Census Bureau Data Underscore Value of College Degree
http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/education/007660.html
Adults age 18 and older with a bachelor's degree earned an average of $51,554 in 2004, while those with a high school diploma earned $28,645, according to new tabulations released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. Those without a high school diploma earned an average of $19,169.

In 2005, 85 percent of all adults 25 years or older reported they had completed at least high school. More than one-quarter (28 percent) of adults age 25 years and older had attained at least a bachelor's degree.
High school graduation rates for women (ages 25 years and older) continued to exceed those of men, 85.4 percent and 84.9 percent, respectively. On the other hand, men had a greater proportion of the population with a bachelor's degree or higher (28.9 percent compared with 26.5 percent of women).
Non-Hispanic whites had the highest proportion of adults with a high school diploma or higher (90 percent), followed by Asians (88 percent), blacks (81 percent) and Hispanics (59 percent).

The District of Columbia had the highest proportion of people 25 years and older with a bachelor's degree or higher (47 percent), followed closely by Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and New Jersey.
Fourteen tables of data on educational trends are available, and attainment levels are shown by characteristics such as age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, occupation, industry, nativity and period of entry, as well as metropolitan and nonmetropolitan residence. The tabulations also include data on earnings and educational attainment. Although the statistics provided are primarily at the national level, some data are shown for regions and states.
The data are from the 2005 Current Population Survey's (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC). The ASEC is conducted in February, March and April at about 100,000 addresses nationwide.

Non-Hispanic whites had the highest proportion of adults with a high school diploma or higher (90 percent), followed by Asians (88 percent), blacks (81 percent) and Hispanics (59 percent).
Utah, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire and Alaska continued to have the highest proportions of people 25 years and older with a high school diploma or higher (around 92 percent).
The District of Columbia had the highest proportion of people 25 years and older with a bachelor's degree or higher (47 percent), followed closely by Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and New Jersey.
Fourteen tables of data on educational trends are available, and attainment levels are shown by characteristics such as age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, occupation, industry, nativity and period of entry, as well as metropolitan and nonmetropolitan residence. The tabulations also include data on earnings and educational attainment. Although the statistics provided are primarily at the national level, some data are shown for regions and states.
The data are from the 2005 Current Population Survey's (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC). The ASEC is conducted in February, March and April at about 100,000 addresses nationwide.
