Average wages in Australia - as at May 2005
Following on from the World house prices thread, I just came across the current Average wages in Australia figures at: http://www.smh.com.au/news/business/...958181797.html
extacts are:
Full-time adult ordinary-time earnings - the benchmark for Australia's average wage - rose to $1008.10 a week in the three months to May 31, or $52,432 a year, the Bureau of Statistics announced yesterday.
Full-time women workers are yet to reach the new pay landmark, averaging $906 a week compared with men on $1064.
Miners are the nation's best paid workers among the categories measured by the bureau, with ordinary-time earnings averaging just over $82,000 a year, followed by finance and insurance workers on $65,218
When overtime and bonuses are added, the national average weekly wage is $1060.80 for an annual salary of $55,161.
Workers in the ACT are Australia's highest paid workers with an average of $1167 a week, followed by NSW on $1051.
In NSW, the average annual wage of $54,662 is about $3000 more than in Victoria and $5000 higher than Queensland. Tasmania had the lowest average full-time wage of $890 a week, or $46,280 a year.
The bureau's weekly earnings figures showed wages grew 6 per cent in the year to May.
