What is the average salary in Ireland if we were to exclude minimum wager jobs such as retail 70 to 100k would be my guess.
I was more referring to a friend group where for the most part knowing their salary won't be of any real benefit to you.
In work itself all I've ever see it do is make people fall out with each other. Which is even more bizarre.
Nothing sets colleagues off more than someone telling them they earn more for the same job.
Everyone seems to think two people doing the same job should get paid the same. Rampant in the public sector. Maybe it's more suitable there as they're mostly all as incompetent and lazy as each other.
In the private sector rarely are two people the exact same. Be it experience, Education, Competence level, work ethic etc.
I think overtime you should have a fairly good grasp of your worth in the industry you're in. That's what I ask for when joining a new company. If I come in a bit less so be it. But if I get what I want. I'm happy regardless of what others are on.
What year is it ffs.
It's not like she's sitting at home on a Friday ironing my clothes waiting for me to come in from the pub so I can hand over her "wages"
I would see it as two people who are independently wealthy enough that they don't need to know what the other is on.
Good to see mean earnings have crossed the 1,000 per week mark.

This is earnings data collected by surveying firms. This is mean data, not median.
However, the average is up 28.3% in five years. That isn't great compared to CPI inflation of 20%, it's okay but not great.
I see the ICT sector leads the way at €1,840 per week:

For FT employments, average basic earnings are nearly 54k, or 59.5k when overtime and bonuses are included.
2024 data was published today, from a different CSO series.
Is this data for full time workers only?
The median being 48 is more interesting to me than the median figures
Thats the average for males only, although I think all salaries are for full and part time workers combined.
It would be interesting to see the salaries for full time workers only.
There are two CSO series, which can give different results.
(1) a survey of firms

In the survey of firms, I can't see any mention of PT versus FT workers.
Also, the firm survey has only means, not medians.
HOWEVER, the database tables behind this series does have PR versus FT.
Earnings and Labour Costs data tables are published on PxStat. Link here to updated tables There was an error displaying this embed.
See table EHA05.
(2) earnings data from administrative sources
I can't see any mention of PT vs. FT.
@BlueSkyDreams
Here you go, from table EHA05:
Thanks Geuze.
I see in the summary that male average working hours per week are 38.4 vs female average hours of 32.
The data must include both full time and part time hours.
Males work 20% extra hours on average but earn 29% more on average, vs females.
