Purpose

To provide data on the distribution and composition of employee earnings and hours worked for employees in Australia.

Description

Data from this survey contain information on the distribution of employees according to weekly earnings and hours worked and on the composition of weekly earnings and hours worked for various categories of employees and principal occupations. An annual sample of approximately 9,000 employers is selected from the ABS register of businesses. A further sample of approximately 70,000 employees is selected from the businesses originally selected. Data are collected by mail-out questionnaire.
