I propose to take Questions Nos. 169, 170 and 173 to 176, inclusive, together.
The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
The Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey (EHECS) is the official source of short-term earnings and labour estimates in the State. The quarterly EHECS earnings and labour estimates are published in the Earnings and Labour Costs release (ELC). The most recent final figures available are for Q3 2021.
Earnings estimates by occupational category clerical, sales and service employees are produced by Economic Sector NACE Rev. 2 groupings All NACE economic sectors excluding activities A, T and U (B-S), Industry (B-E), Business and services (B-N, R-S) and Public administration, education and health (O-Q). Due to the methodology and sample size of the survey it is not possible to produce reliable occupational estimates at an economic sector level from the EHECS.
The table below shows the average hourly other labour costs, average hourly total labour costs, average hourly earnings, average hourly earnings excluding irregular earnings, average weekly paid hours and average hourly irregular earnings of all employees in all occupational categories in Economic Sector Nace Rev. 2 Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (G) in the third quarter 2010 to 2021.
