Title
Occupational Wages Survey 2014

Study Type
Enterprise/Establishment Survey
Series Information
The Occupational Wages Survey (OWS) 2014 is the ninth in the series since the survey was re-designed in 1996 to focus on the wage rates of relatively skilled occupations in industries likely to be affected by the changing global and economic structure. The survey aims to generate statistics for wage and salary administration and for wage determination in collective bargaining negotiations.

From 1997 to the 2004 survey rounds, the OWS was a complete enumeration survey of non-agricultural establishments employing 50 persons or more. Starting the 2006 OWS, employment size cut-off was lowered to 20 persons. The 2002 OWS was limited to Metro Manila due to budget cuts.

A total number of 69 industries are covered in the 2014 and 2012 OWS, up from 65 industries in 2010 and 2008 OWS, 60 in 2006, 58 in the 2002 and 2004 rounds, 57 in 1999 and 52 in 1997 OWS.

Pre-determined industries for wage monitoring now total to 50 due to the inclusion of agriculture, forestry and fishery; and the splitting and merging of original domains with the adoption of the 2009 PSIC.

Inclusion of new domains

· Crop and Animal Production, Hunting and Related Service Activities; Forestry and Logging (A01/A02)

· Fishing and Aquaculture (A03)

· Manufacture of Basic Pharmaceutical Products and Pharmaceutical Preparation (C21)

Splitting of original domains

· Publishing and Printing (D221/D222/D223 of 1994 PSIC as amended) into Printing and Reproduction of Recorded Media (C18); and Publishing Activities (J58)

· Supporting and Auxiliary Transport Activities; Activities of Travel Agencies (I63 of 1994 PSIC as amended) into Warehousing and Support Activities for Transportation (H52); and Travel Agency, Tour Operator, Reservation Service and Related Activities (N79)

Merging of original domains

· Banking Institutions except Central Banking (J65 excl. J6510 of 1994 PSIC as amended) and Non-Bank Financial Intermediation (J66 of 1994 PSIC as amended) into Financial Service Activities except Insurance, Pension Funding and Central Banking (K64 excl. K6411)

The selected industries numbered 46 in 2010 and 2008 OWS, 45 in 2006 OWS, 43 in 2002 and 2004 and 41 in 1997 and 1999 rounds.

A total of 188 occupations are covered in the pre-determined industries in the 2014 and 2012 OWS, from 180 in 2010 and 2008 OWS rounds, 169 in 2006, 168 in 2002 and 2004 rounds, 161 in 1999 and 1997. Starting with the 2002 survey round, wage rates of two (2) benchmark occupations, accounting and bookkeeping clerks; and unskilled laborers except janitors, messengers and freight handlers are monitored in all industries covered.
