                                EMPLOYER COSTS FOR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION - JUNE 2010

     Private industry employers spent an average of $27.64 per hour worked for employee compensation in June 2010,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.  Wages and salaries averaged $19.53 per hour worked and
accounted for 70.6 percent of these costs, while benefits averaged $8.11 and accounted for the remaining 29.4
percent.  Total compensation costs for state and local government workers averaged $39.74 per hour worked in
June 2010.  Total compensation costs for civilian workers, which include private industry and state and local
government workers, averaged $29.52 per hour worked in June 2010.  (See chart 1.)

     Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), a product of the National Compensation Survey, measures
employer costs for wages, salaries, and employee benefits for nonfarm private and state and local government
workers.

     Private industry employer costs for retirement and savings benefits varied by occupational group.  Private
industry retirement and savings benefit costs for management, professional, and related occupations were $1.89 per
hour, or 3.9 percent of total compensation, in June 2010.  Costs were lowest among service occupations, 21 cents
or 1.5 percent of total compensation.  (See chart 2 and table 5.)  Included in this amount were employer costs for
defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

Civilian

     Civilian employer costs averaged $2.60 per hour worked for insurance benefits (life, health, and disability
insurance), or 8.8 percent of total compensation.  In addition to insurance, the other benefit categories are: paid
leave (vacation, holiday, sick leave, and personal leave), which averaged $2.04 (6.9 percent of total
compensation); supplemental pay (overtime and premium, shift differentials, and nonproduction bonuses), which
averaged 71 cents per hour worked (2.4 percent); retirement and savings, which averaged $1.31 per hour (4.4
percent); and legally required benefits (Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and workers’
compensation), which averaged $2.30 per hour worked (7.8 percent).  (See table A and table 1.)

Private industry

     Private industry employer costs for paid leave averaged $1.86 per hour worked (6.7 percent of total
compensation), supplemental pay averaged 78 cents (2.8 percent), insurance benefits averaged $2.22 (8.0 percent),
retirement and savings averaged 96 cents (3.5 percent) and legally required benefits averaged $2.29 (8.3 percent)
per hour worked.  (See table A and table 5.)

Retirement and savings costs in private industry

     In June 2010, average costs in private industry for retirement and savings benefits were 96 cents per hour
worked, or 3.5 percent of total compensation.  The average cost per hour worked for defined benefit plans--
retirement plans that typically specify a benefit based on age, years of service, and earnings--was 42 cents (1.5
percent of total compensation).  The average cost for defined contribution plans--retirement plans usually based
on employer contributions to individual employee accounts--was 54 cents (2.0 percent of total compensation).
(See table 5.)  Employer costs for retirement and savings plans are affected by several factors, including the
percentage of employees that participate in the plans offered by their employer.  (The National Compensation
Survey produces comprehensive data on the percentage of workers with access to and that participate in retirement
plans.  Data for March 2010 are available at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ebs2.pdf).

     Retirement and savings costs were higher, both in amount and as a proportion of total compensation, for union
workers ($2.63 and 7.0 percent of total compensation) than for nonunion workers (78 cents and 2.9 percent of total
compensation).  Defined benefit plan costs were significantly higher for union workers ($1.92 and 5.1 percent of
compensation) than for nonunion workers (25 cents and 1.0 percent of compensation).  (See table 5.)

     Retirement and savings costs were higher per hour worked in goods-producing industries ($1.50 and 4.6 percent
of total compensation) than in service-providing industries (85 cents and 3.2 percent of total compensation).
Within goods-producing industries, retirement and savings costs averaged $1.68 per hour in construction and $1.30
per hour in manufacturing.  Costs in service-providing industries varied widely, ranging from 11 cents in leisure
and hospitality to $1.63 in the information industry.  (See table 6.)

     Retirement and savings costs increased, both in cost per hour worked and proportion of total compensation,
with establishment size.  Establishments with fewer than 50 workers averaged 52 cents (2.4 percent of total
compensation), significantly less than establishments with 500 workers or more, averaging $1.97 (5.0 percent).
(See table 8.)

                                              TECHNICAL NOTE

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

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

     The cost levels for this quarter were collected from a probability sample of approximately 62,800 occupations
selected from a sample of about 13,200 establishments in private industry and approximately 11,600 occupations
from a sample of about 1,800 establishments in state and local government.  The private industry sample is rotated
over approximately 5 years, which makes the sample more representative of the economy and reduces respondent
burden.  The state and local government sample, which is replaced less frequently than the private industry
sample, was replaced in its entirety in September 2007.  The sample is replaced on a cross-area, cross-industry
basis.  Data are collected for the pay period including the 12th day of the survey months of March, June,
September, and December.

Comparing private and public sector data

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

ECEC quarterly publication focus

     ECEC news releases are published quarterly, providing civilian, private industry, and state and local
government cost per hour estimates as well as additional detail on a specific compensation cost topic of interest.
This quarter focuses on retirement and savings costs in private industry. Topics of news releases for the upcoming
reference periods are as follows:

     * September 2010--Compensation costs in state and local government
     * December 2010--Paid leave and legally required benefit costs in private industry

ECEC detailed information and measures
