The gross series is not comparable across January 2018, and INS says so itself: under Emergency Ordinance 79/2017 the social security and health contributions that used to be paid by the employer passed to the employee, and have been reflected in GROSS earnings ever since. It shows in the figures — total economy, December 2017: 3,662 lei gross, January 2018: 4,143 lei, without anybody being paid more. NET pay is unaffected: INS writes explicitly that the transfer "does not influence the comparability of the data" for the net series.
