Figures refer to December of the year. Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.
The Real Wage Indices of 2006 are derived by deflating the Nominal Wage Indices by the 2004/2005-based CPI(A). To facilitate comparison, Real Wage Indices prior to 2006 have been re-compiled using the 2004/2005-based CPI(A).
(1) Figures refer to all industries covered by the Wage Enquiry of Labour Earnings Survey, including the electricity and gas sector.
