Labour cost index

The Labour Cost Index (LCI) measures changes in base salary and ordinary time wage rates, overtime wage rates, and non-wage labour-related costs (eg annual leave, superannuation and medical insurance).

The LCI is produced quarterly and covers paid jobs filled by employees in all occupations and all industries except private households.

Since it rebase in 2001, it includes jobs of employees under 15 years old. Its base (=1000) is currently the June 2001 quarter.
