According to figures from the national accounts for the third quarter of 2007, the statistics cover about 73 000 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.

Estimations of earningsThe average annual earnings are estimated by use of 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. |
