Sheet 6: Labor Costs

Labor Costs
Labor Type	Labor Cost/hour	Labor + Overhead/ houra	Portion attributed/hour	Employer Cost/hour
Managerial	57.20	115	0.05	5.75
Technical/Professional	52.99	106	0.7	74.20
Clerical	19.67	40	0.2	8.00
Legal	57.25	115	0.05	5.75
Total Employer Cost/hour				94.00
Purchased Servicesb				188
a Overhead is calculated to be equal to the cost of labor.
b The cost of purchased services (for example, cost of attest auditors) is calculated at twice the Total Employer Cost. This figure makes for an easily understandable estimate, and matches past feedback we have received from industry on the actual cost of such services.
The estimates used the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures from "National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment & Wage Estimate “Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing” (March 2017).
These were the most recent estimates available at the time of development of the proposed rule.
