Average Earnings, Hours Worked, Employment and Labour Costs [EHQ08]

Source dataset page

Notes

Seasonally adjusted data is available for all public and private sector earnings, hours and labour costs totals, but is not available for detailed public sector series. Data for the latest quarter is preliminary and subject to revision. Temporary Census field staff are included in figures for Q1 and Q2 2011 and Q1 and Q2 2016.Registered employment is adjusted at a sectoral level to reflect the trends of the Labour Force Survey (LFS) sectoral employment, which is the official source of employment. A new framework regulation governing the production of European Statistics on persons and households (Integration European Social Statistics Framework Regulation – IESS FR) came into force on 01 January 2021. The CSO had to introduce changes to the LFS questionnaire in Ireland from Quarter 1 (Q1) 2021 because of the IESS regulation. Employment estimates for Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 were adjusted based on preliminary estimates from the Labour Force Survey for those quarters. These estimates have since been revised in line with the IESS Regulation and as a result of further refinement of NACE classifications. Revised estimates now appear in the PxStat tables for Q1 2021. Due to an error in processing, estimates in relation to the Defence sub sector for Q2 2021 and Q3 2021 were inaccurate and have since been revised. The revisions have been reflected in the updated PxStat tables published on 31 May 2022. Please note: The Building Momentum Public Service Agreement 2021-2022 was implemented in October 2022 and introduced an increase in the annualised basic salaries for public servants of 3%, which was backdated to 02 February 2022. Payments to public servants in Q4 2022 may have included backdated pay in relation to this Agreement, which impacts the quarterly and annual percentage changes of average weekly and hourly earnings primarily in sectors O, P, Q and the aggregated sector B-S.
