About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on information from a sample of enterprises which cover a total of 32 760 full-time employees and 27 013 part-time employees. According to the Norwegian Central Register of Enterprises and Establishments as per September 2010, administrative and support service activities comprise in total 108 500 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.

The method for measuring 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.

Structural changes within the industry along with the outcome of collective bargaining would have a certain effect on the wage increase being measured.
