Changes in the costs of employing labour, analysed by sector and industry.
This paper provides additional information and guidance on how to interpret average earnings data for the “continuously employed”. It has a particular focus on the difference between the published rate of growth in median gross weekly full-time earnings for all employees of 0.1% in 2014 compared with those identified as being in continuous employment of 4.1% (ONS 2014). Continuous employment is defined in this article as being in the same job for at least 12 months.
Latest figures from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) show 697,000 people are employed on a “zero-hours contract” in their main job. This represents 2.3% of all people in employment, an increase of 0.4% from the same period in 2013. People on a “zero-hours contract” are more likely to be women, in full-time education or in young or older age groups. They are likely to work 25 hours a week.
Jobs with pay below the national minimum wage, excluding payments in kind.
