Notes: |
Figures refer to September of the year. Figures
in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of
the preceding year.
As from 2001, the Real Wage Indices are derived by deflating the
Nominal Wage Indices by the 1999/2000-based CPI(A). To facilitate
comparison, Real Wage Indices prior to 2001 have been re-compiled
using the 1999/2000-based CPI(A).
(1) |
Figures refer to all industries covered by
the Wage Enquiry of Labour Earnings Survey, including the
electricity and gas sector. |
