What it means

The figure is the average monthly earning of one employee in this activity, computed by INS from a monthly statistical survey. It is an arithmetic mean, not a typical wage: high salaries pull it up, so more than half of the employees in the activity earn less than this figure.

Units are classified by the employer's HOMOGENEOUS activity, not by each employee's occupation. A programmer employed by a bank counts under financial services, not under IT; a hospital kitchen counts under health, not under restaurants.

Net pay is obtained by subtracting the employee's compulsory contributions from gross pay. The figure excludes severance payments and sums paid retroactively under court rulings for earlier years.

Averages by activity do NOT add up to the national average and cannot be averaged together: the national figure is a mean weighted by the number of employees, and the weights are not published in these matrices.

The figures are on CANE Rev.3 and begin in January 2025, when INS opened the matrix under the new classification. They are not comparable with an activity of the same name from before 2025: at the move to Rev.3 the section letters were reassigned, and some units moved from one section to another. Where an honest counterpart exists under CANE Rev.2, its history is in the separate block above, with the break declared — never spliced onto the line here.
