Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 10 July 2007:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what average hourly pay was for each (a) quartile, (b) decile and (c) duo-decile in each year since 1992. (148767)
Levels of earnings are estimated from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) and from the New Earnings Survey (NES), and are provided for all full-time employees on adult rates of pay, whose pay for the survey period was not affected by absence.
I attach tables showing, where available, the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 55th, 60th, 65th, 70th, 75th, 80th, 85th, 90th and 95th percentile of Gross Hourly Pay, corresponding to each quartile, decile, and duo-decile. It is not possible to obtain deciles and duo-deciles from the New Earnings Survey results, other than the published 10th and 90th deciles. Therefore only these deciles, and the published quartiles, are available prior to 1997.
The ASHE, carried out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. It replaced NES from 2004, although ASHE methodology has been applied to NES datasets to provide continuous results from 1997 onwards. Both surveys feature a one per cent sample of all employees who are members of pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) schemes.
