Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) - 2007 Results

The 2007 ASHE results take account of a small number of methodological changes which will improve the quality of results. These include changes to the sample design itself, as well as the introduction of an automatic occupation coding tool, ACTR. Therefore these results are only continuous with the 2006 results that have been produced using this methodology and are discontinuous with results from previous years.

In addition to the changes noted above; the sample size of the 2007 ASHE has been reduced by almost 20 per cent. ASHE results for 2007 are based on approximately 142,000 returns, down from 175,000 in 2006.

The ASHE tables contain UK data on earnings for employees by sex and full-time/part-time workers. Further breakdowns are available by region, occupation, industry, region by occupation and age-groups. These breakdowns are available for the following variables: gross weekly pay, weekly pay excluding overtime, basic pay including other pay, overtime pay, gross hourly pay, hourly pay excluding overtime, gross annual pay, annual incentive pay, total paid hours, basic paid hours and paid overtime hours.

Local authority breakdowns are also accessible for ASHE variables by place of work and place of residence.
