Based on the data from the Monthly Statement of Earnings transmitted by enterprises to the Tax Authority (Autoridade Tributária), transmitted monthly to Statistics Portugal, following a protocol celebrated between both entities, Statistics Portugal started publishing new statistics on gross monthly earnings per employee. This information concerns around 4.6 million employees, considering all types of earnings from employment and was integrated with other databases available at Statistics Portugal within the scope of the broader project created by Statistics Portugal called “National Data Infrastructure”, enabling both the socio-demographic characterization of employees and the characterization of the enterprises where they work.
This Press release presents complementary results to those released on 12 April , on the distribution of gross earnings per employee in the public sector and in the private sector of the economy, for the year 2021.
