Tables

A subset of the the Main Economic Indicators (MEI) database, hourly earnings includes seasonally adjusted average total earnings paid per employed person per hour including overtime pay and regularly recurring cash supplements. These comparative statistics include earnings series from manufacturing and the private economic sector. Data sources are mainly business surveys covering different economic sectors, but in some cases administrative data are also used. Data are expressed in index form (2005=100).

A subset of the the Main Economic Indicators (MEI) database, Labour marketĀ statistics includes labour force, unemployment level and rate, employment by industry and services. Data are collected from sample household surveys on a monthly or quarterly basis. Data are expressed as levels, rates or indices and are available from 1952 onwards.

A subset of the the Main Economic Indicators (MEI) database, the Registered unemployment and job vacancies dataset includes registered unemployment rates and levels and job vacancies statistics. Data are available from 1955 onwards.

This database includes data on unit labour cost and productivity. Unit labour costs (ULCs) measure the average cost of labour per unit of output, calculated as the ratio of total labour costs to real output. Early estimates of quarterly (EEQ) ULCs cover total economy and are obtained by multiplying compensation of employees with a self-employment ratio.
