This is an approximate increase of NOK 12 100 or 4.1 per cent from the same period in 2007. By comparison, the increase in annual earnings from 2006 to 2007 was 4.7 per cent.

On the statistical basis

The statistics are based on a sample of enterprises with 14 314 full-time employees and 19 068 part-time employees. According to figures from the national accounts for the third quarter of 2008, the statistics cover about 79 200 employees in hotels and restaurants.

The term average monthly earnings is the main term in Statistics Norway's wage statistics. Monthly earnings cover basic salaries, variable additional allowances and bonuses. Payment for overtime work is not included.

Estimations of earnings

The average annual earnings are estimated by using information from wage statistics from at least two years, and the quarterly wage index. The increase in annual earnings differs somewhat from the increase in monthly earnings. Monthly earnings are compared at a specific date each year, while the change in annual earnings is from one calendar year to the next. Annual earnings do not include payment for overtime work.
