Employment Cost Index (ECI)
When employers talk about "labor cost inflation," this is the data they're citing. It tracks what companies actually pay workers: base wages, bonuses, and the employer's share of benefits like health insurance and pensions. Updated every quarter, it covers both private companies and government agencies. If you want to know whether worker compensation is keeping pace with overall inflation, this is where to look.
