About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on a sample of enterprises with 10 785 employees in electricity supply. Preliminary figures from the national accounts show that that these statistics cover 11 500 employees. Monthly earnings is the main term in the wage statistics, and covers basic salary, variable additional allowances, and bonuses. Overtime pay is not included in the monthly earnings. Annual earnings are estimated on the basis of two years of the wage statistics, information from the wage settlements, and from the quarterly index on earnings. The figures for 2007 are permanent, but the numbers for 2008 are preliminary, until the wage statistics for 2009 are released. Growth in annual earnings will usually differ from growth in monthly earnings. This is because the monthy earnings are compared on 1 October, whereas the annual earnings cover the calendar year.
