The Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey (EHECS) collects information from enterprises on the number of employees paid at or below the national minimum wage. The results from this survey for Quarter 2 2013, the latest period for which data is available, show that there are in total an estimated 68,500 people on the National Minimum Wage which equates to 4.5% of all employees in enterprises with three or more employees in the State.
