Labour cost survey details |
| Methodology |
The objective of the annual labour cost survey is to provides the necessary elements for the calculation of the gross, net, monthly and hourly earnings broken down by national economy activity, ownership type, legal form, employee category, sex, macroregion, development region and county.
In 2023 it was conducted on a sample of about 27900 economic and social operators, from all enterprise size classes, irrespective of the employee number. The economic units with 50 or more employees are exhaustively surveyed. The units of the "budgetary sector" are exhaustively surveyed, except for local public administration units for which the data on local communal councils are collected based on a representative sample at county level (about 820 units). Armed forces and similar staff (the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Romanian Intelligence Service etc.) are excluded.
Starting with the reference year 2013, in order to improve the quality estimates and to increase the overall response rate, estimation methods were applied, by imputing the missing data from the statistical survey with the data reported in administrative sources ("Declaration on payment obligations related to social contributions, the income tax and nominal records of insured persons (D112)", owned by National Agency for Fiscal Administration). The imputation rate is under 10%. Type of non-response taken into account: refusal, units not identified, units not contacted, dormant or insolvency units at the end of the reference period (that reported data in administrative sources).
Starting with the reference year 2017, in order to improve the reliability of the data at county (NUTS3) and CANE Rev.2 division (2 digits) level, the survey sample was extended by economic units belonging to the size class below 50 employees, for which methods of estimating the statistical indicators from administrative sources were applied ("Declaration on payment obligations related to social contributions, the income tax and nominal records of insured persons (D112)").
The average gross monthly earnings are calculated by relating the gross amount paid from the salary funds, from the net profit and other funds, plus backdated pay arrears, to the average number of employees and to the number of the months of the year.
The average number of employees is defined according to the specifications from the FOM104F matrix
Data are aggregated by homogeneous activity of units, meaning that in public administration activity (according to CANE Rev.2) there are not included all the secondary activities developed in central and local public administration of type:
- social assistance;
- arts, entertainment and recreation;
- landscape and services for buildings;
- agriculture;
- water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities;
-construction;
- transportation and storage;
- electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply;
- renting and sub-renting real estate goods etc.
Information about secondary activities are included each of them in economic activities according to the corresponding CANE Rev.2. Information regarding "budgetary sector" should be used carefully because data refer to statistics from economic activity (aggregated by homogeneous activity) according to CANE Rev.2 of public administration, education, human health and social work activities (including private sector for education - about 5.9% in 2023, respectively human health and social work activities - about 15.2% in 2023) except armed forces and staff assimilated (Ministry of National Defense, Romanian Intelligence Office, Ministry of Administration and Interior etc.).
These statistics do not take into account the financing type, their purpose being to provide information by economic activity according to CANE Rev.2. Information corresponding to the financing type are administered by the Ministry of Public Finance, in keeping with the stipulations of Government Emergency Ordinance no.48/2005, with later completions and modifications.
The breakdown of employees by county was carried out according to the locality where they work.
According to the provisions of the national legislation in force (GEO No 79/2017, as subsequently amended), the social insurance contributions and social health insurance contributions that were payable by employers were shifted to employees and, starting with the reference year 2018, they are fully borne by employees and are reflected in the gross amount of earnings.
Consequently, the indicator on "average gross monthly earnings" produced and disseminated starting with the reference year 2018 is no longer comparable with previous data series.
These legal provisions do not influence data comparability for the series of "average net monthly earnings".
Starting from 2019, in accordance with the national legal provisions in force, certain categories of employees benefit from fiscal facilities in terms of tax and mandatory social contributions. Also, in some economic activities, a differentiated minimum gross basic salary is applied.

| Observations |
Data are available since 2008.
For the period 1991 - 2007 data are found in the matrix FOM107A.
The indicators to which an average number of employees of less than 100 persons corresponds have a lower degree of reliability due to the number of cases observed.
The table has been renamed and updated with information at division/aggregated division level.
By contrast to the average monthly nominal gross earnings disseminated on monthly basis, the average monthly nominal gross earnings disseminated on annual basis, comprise also the severance payments, respectively backdated paid arrears as consequence of wining the lawsuits involving the money rights related to previous years. |
| Continuation |
This matrix represents a continuation of the FOM107A matrix, containing data up to Year 2008. |
