Monthly earnings increased by 7 per cent

Monthly earnings is perhaps the most important concept in wage statistics. Monthly earnings include basic paid salaries, variable additional allowances and bonuses, commissions and the like. As with the annual earnings, overtime pay and other benefits are not included. The percentage increase in monthly earnings can differ some from that of the annual earnings. This is because monthly earnings are calculated every 1 October, while annual earnings are compared from one calendar year to the next.

The average monthly earnings for all full-time employees in social and personal service activities were

NOK 28 100 per 1 October 2002. This was an increase of NOK 1 800 or 7.0 per cent from 1 October 2001.

Membership organizations: 7.6 per cent increase

Other personal service activities: 6.7 per cent increase

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on a sample of enterprises with 19 260 full-time and 7 304 part-time employees. According to preliminary figures from the National Accounts for the third quarter 2002 the statistics cover about 72 700 employees.

For some divisions, the tables are somewhat less specified compared to those of previous years. This has to do with the implementation of the NOS Standard Classification of Occupations.
