Quarterly wage index for full-time employees in health enterprises

The quarterly wage index is closely linked to the annual statistics on wages. The wage concepts on which the two index series are based (basic salaries and average monthly earnings) are identical with wage concepts used in the annual statistics on wages. Changes in basic salaries are directly comparable between the two statistics. The time series in the annual statistics on wages for employees in health enterprises has been discontinued. Hence the quarterly index for full-time employees in health enterprises ended in the 4th quarter of 2016.
