The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics has created the 'New Salary Distribution Statistics,' aiming to show the percentage of people earning different monthly salaries to provide a more frequent and accurate reflection of the current situation compared to the annual median salary release. The challenge lies in accurately describing the data due to the statistical unit being based on workplaces instead of individual employees, leading to difficulties in wording. After much deliberation, it was concluded that using the phrase '68% of employees work in workplaces where the average monthly salary is below 50,000' was clearer. Simplifying the reporting process and aiming for better understanding among readers is emphasized, urging a move away from convoluted descriptions and towards more straightforward communication.
