One set of statistical series produced from the NCS is the Employment Cost Index, which provides measures of change in employers' costs for wages and salaries and benefits. Several Data Sources Available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provide information on trends in real compensation. All are useful for macroeconomic analysis, and, because the series do not always move by the same amount or in the same direction, it is wise to examine each one to understand general trends in real compensation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
