Sumario:The article examines seasonal adjustment in the U.S. Employment Cost Index (ECI) and the conversion to North American Industry Classification System and Standard Occupational Classification system. The Office of Management and Budget mandate necessitated three changes to the ECI seasonal adjustment process.

The seasonal factors for directly adjusted series are estimated by applying seasonal adjustment techniques directly to historical data for the series.
