Fully comprehensive average earnings figures for all classes of employees and the self-employed are not available. However, estimates for the average earnings of employees in various sectors can be obtained from the CSO surveys of industry, services, etc. I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the average earnings for the most recent years available in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, in building and construction, in the public service, in banking, insurance and finance and in retail, wholesale and certain other services. Figures for industry are given for comparison. Some information on income from self-employment in farming and other sectors is also given for reference.
