How pay in this sector moved into the latest edition

Comparable series means the same role in the same independent survey edition, year to year. Reprinted, unchanged tables count as series but never as movement. A market shows a figure only where its own measured series support one. The figures below compare the latest edition against the previous comparable one. The history chart covers the earlier years behind the bands.

  • UAE
