Default Financial Services Pay Highest

In my previous post, I highlighted that the services sector is surging ahead in terms of employment growth. In this post, I will show the salary data for the various industries within the services sector.

The data come from the just released Monthly Digest of Statistics published by the Department of Statistics.

In particular, I used the average monthly nominal earnings per employee, and calculated & ranked the averages for the 4 latest quarters (from 2006 Q3 to 2007 Q2).

Singstat says that the nominal earnings are "computed using data from the CPF Board" and include "bonuses... but exclude employers' CPF contributions."

For those who doubt that CPF knows your monthly pay, rest assured that your employer is required (by law) to submit your wage info to CPF Board.

My findings. The Financial Services industry has an average monthly earning of $6,565, which is more than $1.6k higher than the next best industry, the Information & Communications industry ($4,891). The worst is Hotels & Restaurants at $1,413.

There's also a bump in the 2007 Q1 data for Financial Services (i.e. the $8,227 figure). I believe this can be attributed to the fat bonuses that bankers and VPs got at the beginning of the year.
