Structure of Earnings Survey

The Structure of Earnings Survey collects data on wages and salaries as well as working hours of employed persons every four years. This information enables detailed analyses of the structure and distribution of earnings by economic activity, occupation, age, gender and other characteristics. 

The survey is conducted in all Member States of the European Union on harmonized standards and provides reliable and meaningful comparisons of earnings between the EU countries. The results for Austria for the reporting year 2018 can be found on our website under Structure of Earnings.

The survey for the reporting year 2022 will start in April 2023.
