Average Earnings Up 2.2% in 2006

The average gross earnings in Slovenia last year stood at EUR 1,212.8, which is 2.2% more than a year once adjusted to inflation.

Slovenian workers netted an average EUR 773.42 per month last year, a yearly increase of 2.5% in real terms, data from the Statistics Office shows.
An average Slovenian employee earned EUR 1,261.09 gross in December 2006, which is 9.9% less than a month earlier.
The net wage for December averaged EUR 818.94, a drop of 5.7% compared to November.
The smaller monthly drop in net earnings compared to gross earnings in December is a result of a lower tax burden on labour stemming from the new income tax legislation.
The data also shows that the only Slovenian region where pay was higher than the Slovenian average was the central Osrednjeslovensko region, which includes Ljubljana, where employees earned 12.9% more than the Slovenian average.
The lowest wages were registered in the NE Pomurje region, where earnings trailed behind the Slovenian average by 16.8% last year.
