This report presents the second publication of experimental estimates of gross earnings and the gender pay gap in Jersey. The publication of these experimental statistics is designed to invite feedback from users on the results and the methodology whilst these continue to be developed. This report includes real-term earnings statistics for the first time and improved international comparisons. Further development work is being undertaken with the aim of publishing statistics using an updated method towards the end of 2024.​

These statistics were produced using data already held by Government for administrative purposes, specifically Social Security contributions and Manpower returns. They provide a greater level of detail and additional information than is currently available in our existing survey based official statistics.

The production of these statistics is part of a wider program of work by Statistics Jersey to produce or improve statistical outputs, using administrative data. This would include more frequent earnings statistics than the annual Average Earnings Index (AEI) and additional employment analysis, in a report to be published shortly. ​
