The following Employment Cost Index files are on the BLS internet in the subdirectory 
pub/time.series/ec:

       contact.doc	- Contacts for BLS surveys
       ec.compensation	- Comp_code mapping file
       ec.data.0.Current- Employment Cost Index data for current year
       ec.data.1.AllData- All Employment Cost Index data 
       ec.doc		- General information
       ec.group		- Group_code       mapping file
       ec.ownership	- Ownership_code   mapping file
       ec.period	- Period_code      mapping file
       ec.periodicity	- Periodicity_code mapping file
       ec.series	- All series and their beginning dates



Both of the above data files (ec.data.0.Current  &  ec.data.1.AllData) have the following 
format:

       series_id              period                 
           |                    |                   
       ---------               ---

 The  series_id  can be broken down into:
