Monthly earnings up NOK 1 100

Full-time employees in personal service activities had average monthly earnings, excluding overtime payments, of NOK 33 500 as at 1 October 2009. This was an increase of approximately NOK 1 100 or 3.4 per cent from the same period in 2008.

The divisions included in personal service activities differ considerably, e.g. membership organisations, washing and dry cleaning, hairdressing and funeral and related activities. Monthly earnings vary from NOK 27 400 in hairdressing to NOK 48 100 for employees in business, employers and professional organisations.

Annual earnings

The average annual earnings for full-time employees in personal service activities were estimated to be NOK 397 300 in 2009.

Publications of wage statistics in 2009 apply a new standard industrial classification (SIC 2007). 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 covering a total of 11 323 full-time employees and 3 917 part-time employees. According to the Norwegian Central Register of Enterprises and Establishments as per October 2009, personal service activities include in total 32 600 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. Basic salary for personal service activities is measured as per 1 October, while bonuses, variable additional allowances and payment for overtime work are calculated from the annual sum as a monthly average.
