Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Key statistical concept Key statistical conceptThe Hourly Earnings (MEI) dataset contains predominantly monthly statistics, and associated statistical methodological information, for OECD member countries and for selected non-member economies.
The MEI Earnings dataset provides monthly and quarterly data on employees' earnings series. It includes earnings series in manufacturing and for the private economic sector. Mostly, the sources of the data are business surveys covering different economic sectors but in some cases, administrative data are also used. The target series for hourly earnings correspond to seasonally adjusted average total earnings paid per employed person per hour, including overtime pay and regularly recurring cash supplements. Where hourly earnings series are not available, a series could refer to weekly or monthly earnings. In this case, a series for full-time or full-time equivalent employees is preferred to an all employees series.
