New standard industrial classification

Publications of wage statistics in 2009 apply a new standard industrial classification (SIC2007). Wage statistics 2008/2009 presented here are thus according to the new standard.

On the statistical basis

The statistics are based on a sample of enterprises with 14 333 full-time employees and 23 305 part-time employees. According to figures from the national accounts for the third quarter of 2009, the statistics cover about 83 800 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.
