What it measures

Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, in one paragraph

Employer Costs for Employee Compensation reports the level of employer cost per hour worked, split between wages and each category of benefit. It is the level series behind the Employment Cost Index rate of change.

What JMM reads first

Wages are roughly two thirds of what an employer pays for an hour and benefits are the rest, so a wage number read alone understates both the cost of a hire and what a worker receives. This release is where the split is published rather than assumed.
