[BDQ01] Earnings and Hours Worked in the Building and Construction Industry (1969Q1to 2008Q4)

In order to reduce burden on respondents and in an attempt to streamline surveys in the CSO, this is the final release of this inquiry and contains provisional figures for December 2008 reference period. Please see forthcoming results from the Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey (EHECS) for an alternative short-term indicator concerning earnings and hours worked in the construction sector. For more information regarding this inquiry, please email: ehecs@cso.ie#The Quarterly Inquiry on earnings and hours worked in construction covers private businesses in the building and construction industry with 10 or more persons engaged. Data for the most recent quarter added is always provisional with the preceding quarter having been revised at the time the new quarter is added. Sample Size - these figures are presented for information purposes only to indicate sample size. They are not in any sense an indicator of employment trends in the construction sector. Juveniles may be defined (generally speaking) as workers under the minimum wage age threshold, and students on summer work. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cso.ie/surveysandmethodologies/surveys/construction/earningsandhours_con.htm"> See background notes </a>
