Average weekly earnings surpass €1,000 for first time in Q1 – CSO
Average weekly earnings surpassed €1,000 in the first three months of this year, according to new figures from the Central Statistics Office.
Weekly earnings were up 5.6% from €972 in the first quarter of 2024 to €1,026 in the first three months of this year.
The figures cover all sectors across the economy excluding agriculture and companies with less than three people.
The job vacancy rate at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was 1.3% which was slightly higher than the same time a year earlier.
CSO statistician Louse Egan said that average earnings in the economy continue to increase year-on-year, surpassing €1,000 for the first time in the series.
“This is driven by a number of factors, including a stable job vacancy rate for the past 18 months, as well as annual employment growth of 3.3%,” she added.
