Notes:
Figures refer to September of the year. Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.
As from 2001, the Real Wage Indices are derived by deflating the Nominal Wage Indices by the 1999/2000-based CPI(A). To facilitate comparison, Real Wage Indices prior to 2001 have been re-compiled using the 1999/2000-based CPI(A).
(1) Figures refer to all industries covered by the Wage Enquiry of Labour Earnings Survey, including the electricity and gas sector.
