Methodological details

- The wage bill corresponds to the disbursed basis of social security contributions.

- An early estimate of the quarterly wage bill is released approximately 50 days after the end of the last quarter on the occasion of the release of the economic barometer. A more definitive estimate is released 20 days later, on the occasion of the release of the Acoss Stat on the payroll and the number of employees. During these 20 days, the early series provides an additional quarter.

- The dataset includes raw data and seasonally adjusted data (cvs).
