I am not referring to incomes among staff in the Central Statistics Office but average incomes in the economy. The figures are broken down under various headings, including industry, the public sector, banking and financial services, the arts, the community sector and so forth. The figures show a decline in average incomes in most sectors. While more employment is being created, I wonder if the decline in incomes is likely to become a trend.
