Page 4: WISUTIL -  Main findings on salaries

• Comparability across countries1) in WageIndicator data, hourly wages are computed, using

the contractual or – if missing – the usual working hours / wage

2) hourly wages are converted into “standardized US dollars”, thus converted into one currency & controlled for purchasing power parity

3) the standardized hourly wages from 2007, 2008 and 2009 are converted into “standardized US dollars_2010”, using an EU database about annual percentage changes in hourly wages of employees

4) for a better understanding, the “standardized US dollars_2010” are then converted into “standardized German Euro_2010”

5) for comparisons, we use median wages, that is the wage of the middle case, when wages are ranked from high to low
