Graph 2.16: Wage levels (2021) and hourly growth rates (based on labour cost index)
Note:
(1) 2021 refers to the hourly real wage in EUR (left scale), Average Q1 2022 - Q4 2024 refers to the Labour Cost Index (right scale). Sectors are ranked according to average full-time adjusted salaries per employee in 2019 calculated by multiplying wages per employee with the ratio of average number of usual weekly hours worked full-time versus total employment weighted by employment in sectors to correspond to sector groups of compensation per hour worked. Average full-time adjusted salary per employee was then deflated using the harmonized index of consumer prices (hicp). Hourly growth rates calculated based on increases in labour cost index.
