Biggest wage rise in three years
Wages rose an average 1.7% in the third quarter, the biggest rise since the end of 2009, central statistics office CBS said on Monday.
The largest rises were in the industrial sector (2.3%) and construction (2.1%). There was little movement in the hospitality sector but a recently negotiated pay and conditions agreement (cao) will come into force in the fourth quarter.
