Average monthly earnings up 2.7 per cent

Full-time employees in information and communication had average monthly earnings of NOK 45 000 as per 1 October 2009. This was a year-on-year increase of NOK 1 200, equivalent to 2.7 per cent.

Information and communication includes very different activities. The highest earnings are found in ICT services, at NOK 48 200. Employees in radio and television had monthly earnings of NOK 39 400, and employees in publishing industries had monthly earnings of NOK 42 300.

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.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on information from a sample of enterprises which cover a total of 46 187 full-time employees and 3 484 part-time employees. According to the Norwegian Central Register of Enterprises and Establishments as per September 2009, real estate activities comprise in total 77 100 employees.

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 but is presented in the statistics separately.

The method for measuring increases in monthly earnings differs somewhat from that of calculating increases in annual earnings. Monthly earnings are compared at a specific date each year, while changes in annual earnings are measured from one calendar year to the next. Estimated annual earnings for the current year are preliminary until wage statistics for the following year have been compiled.
