Adjusted Earnings

Emsi’s total earnings, adjusted by the C2ER Cost of Living Index (COLI).

The Cost of Living index is based off a 100 base scale, so to adjust the earnings, Emsi first divides our earnings by the COLI, then multiplies the result by 100.

Example:

  • Total Earnings for Manufacturing in Michigan: $78,616
  • Cost of Living in Michigan: 98.5
  • Cost of Living Adjusted Earnings: $80,221*

* Some calculations may not match directly. This is due to rounding methods in the data.
