I propose to take Questions Nos. 131 to 136, inclusive, together.
The exact information the Deputy requested is not available.
Statistics on average wages are compiled from the quarterly Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey (EHECS) and from the Earnings Analysis using Administrative Data Sources (EAADS).
The EHECS collects aggregate quarterly data from enterprises with three or more employees in the NACE Rev 2 Industrial Sectors B–S inclusive. Annual estimates are also derived from the quarterly data. The EHECS is the official source of short-term earnings and labour costs 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 Q4 2021. For further information please see the Background Notes available on the CSO website
The EAADS is the official source of structural earnings statistics and is based primarily on the Revenue Commissioner’s employee tax data which provides details of gross annual earnings and number of weeks worked in the year for all employments. The most recent estimates available are for the year 2020. For further information please see the Background Notes available on the CSO website.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions applied in response to it had a significant impact on the Labour Market in 2020 and 2021. Earnings statistics for 2020 and 2021 and comparisons with earlier years are impacted by changes in the composition of the labour market across 2020 and 2021. The level of earnings has also been impacted by the COVID-19 income support schemes introduced in 2020. These factors should be taken into account when considering the results presented below.
Estimates in relation to mean and median weekly and annual earnings below are taken from the EAADS. Data in relation to hourly earnings is not available from the EAADS. Estimates in relation to hourly earnings below are taken from the ELC.
The data presented below is mean hourly earnings as it is not possible to calculate median hourly earnings from the EHECS as data is collected at enterprise level and not at employee level.
The annual earnings data presented from the EAADS is based on employments that were active for at least 50 weeks in the reference year.
