The statistics show wage developments throughout the year for full-time employees within different industries. Wage developments vary between industries and quarters throughout the year.

Two indices are presented; one showing changes in basic salaries, and one showing changes in average monthly earnings including basic salaries, irregular payments and bonuses. The variable irregular payments and bonuses are computed as an average for the current quarter, thus the timing of disbursement, for instance, of bonuses influences the index and might therefore be subject to greater fluctuations between the quarters.

Preliminary figures for the wage index show a 13.2 per cent increase in average monthly earnings for the last quarter in oil and gas extraction and mining.
