Aging Wage Survey Data Using the Employment Cost Index [29 January 2008]
by Wayne M. Shelly
http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20080122ar01p1.htm
Abstract:
The Employment Cost Index provides a valuable tool that can be used to adjust wage survey data--a process known as "aging"--to account for the time lag between the last published survey data and the present. Making such adjustments is critical for many users, such as human resource professionals, who use the data to set wage levels at their firms, and job seekers, who use the data to evaluate job offers.
