| FOM108D - Hourly average gross earnings in the economy on section and division level, CANE Rev.3, adjusted series by seasonal and working days effect |
| Definition |
The hourly average gross earnings is calculated by reporting the gross amounts paid from the salary fund, from the net profit and other funds, to the number of hours actually worked.
The time actually worked includes hours actually worked in normal working time as stipulated in the labour contract/agreement and overtime actually worked, both on working days over the normal working hours, as well as on weekly resting days, public holidays and other non-working days. |

For details see FOM107G matrix - Monthly average gross earnings in the economy on section and division level, CANE Rev.3.
The hourly average earnings represent the ratio between amounts paid to the employees by the economic operators in the reference month and the number of man-hours for the actual worked period from the reference month (including overtime).
Besides the gross (unadjusted) series the adjusted series is calculated by seasonal and working days effect, being eliminated the effect of the variation of the number of working days from one quarter to another, as well as the effect of the seasonal variation.
The adjustment was done by regressive method. For adjustment it was used the software package JDEMETRA+ v2.1 (TRAMO/SEATS method), which estimates the effect of working days number different from one month to another and effect of calendar (leap year and other national holidays), as well as the identification and correction of the outliers (occasional level changes, transitory or permanent ones).
The adjustment was done by direct method, respectively, applying the adjustment method over the hourly average earnings. The estimation of unobserved components (trend-cycle, seasonality and irregular component) is developed by the SEATS software based on ARIMA models. The seasonal and working days adjusted series were obtained by eliminating the seasonal component from the adjusted series by working days effect.
As a result of a new Classification of Activities in the National Economy (CANE Rev.3 - developed in accordance with the provisions of the Commission delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137 amending Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2) entering into force and as a consequence, the updating of the activity carried out by the economic agents, starting with the reference year 2026, INS collects, produces and disseminates statistical indicators based on this classification.
In order to ensure the comparability with previous periods, the monthly data related to the year 2025 regarding the earnings and the number of employees at the end of the month were estimated in accordance with CANE Rev.3 classification. The estimation method applied is based on a CANE Rev.2 - CANE Rev.3 conversion matrix, used for recoding active statistical units in the Statistical Register of Enterprises. The collection of information on CANE Rev.3 was achieved by using multiple data sources both administrative and statistical, with the aim of improving the quality of statistical data and ensuring a complete coverage of all of CANE Rev.3 classes. The conversion matrix thus constructed ensures methodological coherence and comparability of statistical data series. |
