[31-03-2010] Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2009

The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) is a UK wide survey that provides information on hourly, weekly and annual earnings by gender, work patterns, industry and occupation, including public versus private sector pay comparisons.

ASHE replaced the New Earnings Survey (NES) in 2004 and collects information supplementary to that in NES, therefore ASHE results from 2004 onwards cannot be compared directly to data from previous years.  ASHE results from 2006 onwards are also discontinuous with earlier results, due to a small number of methodological changes having been introduced into the sample design, to improve the quality of the results.

Information from the Northern Ireland ASHE 2009 is available in the following Bulletin.  The tables listed in sections 1 to 3 below link to Excel files containing a range of NI ASHE data.
