Total compensation costs for civilian workers increased 0.8 percent from June
to September 2007, seasonally adjusted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This was about the same as the 0.9 percent
increase for the March to June period. Both components of compensation-wages and
salaries and benefits-rose the same amount, 0.8 percent. In the previous quarter,
wages and salaries also increased 0.8 percent and benefits increased 1.3 percent.
The Employment Cost Index (ECI), a component of the National Compensation Survey,
measures quarterly changes in compensation costs for civilian workers (nonfarm private
industry and state and local government workers).
Quarterly changes, seasonally adjusted
For private industry, compensation costs rose 0.8 percent from June to September
2007, compared to 0.9 percent for the prior quarter, while state and local government
costs increased 0.8 percent, compared to 1.1 percent for the quarter ended June 2007.
