Employee earnings in NI 2022

Date published: 26 October 2022

ASHE provides information on employee earnings in NI. 

A coding error with the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) provisional data for 2022 has been identified, which affects a small number of employee jobs who were paid below the National Minimum Wage. This will have minimal impact on headline mean ASHE estimates (within the usual margins of revision) and no impact on the median and decile estimates; therefore the publication tables will be corrected when revised 2022 data is published alongside the new 2023 figures in November 2023. Previous years’ data are not affected. As the error had a larger impact on estimates of the number of employee jobs who were paid below the National Minimum Wage, we have corrected this figure in the statistical bulletin. It appeared in the Key Points and Low and high pay analysis sections. The proportion of employees jobs below the National Minimum Wage was previously reported as 2.0%, however, this has now been corrected to 1.1%.We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
