New standard industrial classification

Publications of wage statistics in 2009 apply a new standard industrial classification (SIC2007). Wage statistics 2008/2009 presented here are thus according to the new standard.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on a sample of enterprises with 2 345 full-time employees and 334 part-time employees. According to the Norwegian Central Register of Enterprises and Establishments as per October 2009, the statistics cover 4 800 employees.

Average annual earnings are estimated using information from wage statistics for two years and the wage settlements. The figures are estimated for full-time employees and do not include payment for overtime work. Estimated annual earnings figures for 2009 are preliminary until the wage statistics for 2010 are available.

Structural changes

Structural changes, as well as results from the wage negotiations, will influence the recorded changes in earnings. Among other factors, this includes changes in the employment pattern, working time and profession. The development of average earnings is also influenced by the wage increase and the number of employees who join and leave the workforce in the particular group of industry, or switch to other industries.
