Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE)

Office for National Statistics (ONS)

The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings is a sample survey of the earnings of employees in employment in the United Kingdom carried out annually in April of each year under the Statistics of Trade Act 1947. The main purpose of the survey is to obtain annual information about the levels, distribution and make-up of earnings of employees in all industries and occupations and for the collective agreements which cover them.

The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings replaces the New Earnings Survey and includes improvements to the coverage of employees and to the weighting of earnings estimates.
