2019-2022 CSO data shows no clear trend in public-private sector pay differential with slight reductions since 2018-2020.

New data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows a levelling off in the public-private sector pay differential between 2019-2022. There was no clear trend to the pay differential during this period, and the CSO states that slight reductions have occurred since 2018-2020. The research paper presents an econometric analysis of the public-private sector pay differential for the period 2019 to 2022.
