Full-time employees in the wholesale and retail trade had average monthly earnings, excluding overtime pay, of NOK 33 900 as at 1 September 2009. This is a year-on-year growth of NOK 700 or 2.1 per cent.

The wholesale and retail trade includes the industries motor vehicle services, wholesale trade and retail trade. Employees in the wholesale trade had an increase of 3.0 per cent in average monthly earnings, in the retail trade 1.0 per cent, and in motor vehicle services 0.9 per cent.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on information from a sample of enterprises covering a total of 99 607 full-time employees and 80 316 part-time employees. According to the Norwegian Central Register of Enterprises and Establishments as per September 2009, wholesale and retail trade comprises in total 352 200 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 the wholesale and retail trade is measured as per 1 September, while bonuses, variable additional allowances and payment for overtime work are calculated from the annual sum as a monthly average.

The method used to measure 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. The calculation of annual earnings is based on information from both the current and previous year, as well as information from wage negotiations. Estimated annual earnings for the current year are preliminary until wage statistics for the following year have been compiled.
