RELATIVE STANDARD ERRORS FOR ESTIMATES PUBLISHED IN
EMPLOYER COSTS FOR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES
March 2017
The following tables provide the relative standard errors for all cost estimates published in the Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation – March 2017 supplementary tables.
Because the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation is a sample survey, it is subject to sampling
errors. Sampling errors are differences that occur between the results computed from a sample of observations and
those computed from all observations in the population. The estimates derived from different samples selected
using the same sample design may differ from each other. A measure of the variation among these differing
estimates is the standard error. The relative standard error is the standard error expressed as a percent of the cost. It
can be used to measure the precision with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the expected
result of all possible samples. The chances are about 68 out of 100 that an estimate from the survey differs from a
complete population figure by less than the standard error. The chances are about 90 out of 100 that this difference
would be less than 1.6 times the standard error.
For a more detailed explanation of relative standard errors, see “Measuring Trends in the Structure and
Levels of Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,” Compensation and Working Conditions, Summer 1997
and is available online at www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/cwc/measuring-trends-in-the-structure-and-levels-of-employercosts-for-employee-compensation.pdf. For a detailed explanation of how to use standard error data to analyze
differences in year-to-year changes, see "Analyzing Year-to-Year Changes in Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation," Compensation and Working Conditions, Spring 1998 and is available online at
www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/cwc/analyzing-yearto-year-changes-in-employer-costs-for-employee-compensation.pdf.
This article supplements an article from the Summer 1997 issue of Compensation and Working Conditions,
"Explaining the Differential Growth Rates of the ECI and ECEC," which examined how differences in the
construction of these measures contribute to differing trends and is available online at
www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/cwc/explaining-the-differential-growth-rates-of-the-eci-and-ecec.pdf.
Standard errors relate to differences that occur from sampling errors, but not from nonsampling errors.
Sampling errors are differences between the results computed from a sample of observations and those computed
from all observations in the population. Nonsampling errors are not measured and include survey nonresponse and
data collection and processing errors. Survey nonresponse is when sample members are unwilling or unable to
participate in the survey. Data collection errors include provision of inaccurate data by respondents and definitional
difficulties. Processing errors include errors in recording, coding, and entering data. Although nonsampling errors
are not measured, BLS quality assurance programs contain procedures for reducing such errors. These procedures
include data collection reinterviews, observed interviews, computer data edits, and systematic review of reports on
which data are recorded. Extensive field economist training also is conducted to maintain high data collection
standards.
