Data released in the Quarterly Survey of Labour Costs indicate that average incomes fell during the first three months of 2014. The figures show that the average gross monthly income, including remuneration in cash and in kind, fell by 0.2% to €1,805.76 in the first three months of 2014, while the average basic salary remained steady at €1,632.94. The working hours increased by 1.6% as compared to the same period in 2013, but this was due to the Easter holidays that took place in the 2nd quarter in 2014.
