The table shows the average weekly wage for employment sectors over an 8 year period.
One of the clear trends is that professionals had the highest overall income, more than double the income received by service and sales workers. Their average income rose by just under $ overall. With the exception of a slight decline to $ in 2000, this figure increased annually, remaining significantly higher than the average and ending at $ by 2005.
Income for trades people remained stable at $ from 1998 to 1999, although every year after that showed a rising trend ending at $ in 2005. Like professionals, they earned more than the average weekly income. There was an overall increase of just over $ , over fifty percent more than the increase for service and sales workers.
Sales and service workers’ income slightly declined in 2000, and again in 2002. They had the lowest increase of all sectors, always below the average income and rising less than $ over the 8 years, from $ to $ over the period..
Overall, it is clear that professionals and trades people earned above the average income, but service and sales workers earned significantly less.
